Description
On the death of William of Orange in 1584, his son Maurice (1567-1625) was appointed stadtholder, the most important position in the Dutch Republic.
The arrival here of Prince Maurice and his younger brother Frederick Henry – in a carriage drawn by six grey horses – underscores the contrast between the elegant conduct of Hague courtiers and the boorish manners of the peasants.
