Prince William II of Orange,1626 - 1650, attributed to F. Dieussart. Prince William II was the only son of Frederick Henry and Amalia van Solms. He succeeded his father as stadholder in 1647, but died in 1650 of smallpox. William is portrayed as a stadholder, dressed in armour, with the staff of command in his right hand. He is wearing the regalia of the Order of the Garter. Prince William's coat of arms is displayed on the socle. A figure resembling this portrait adorned the stern of the 'Prins Willem' of 1652, a model of which is displayed elsewhere in this room.
