Portrait of Wilhelmina of Prussia in a medallion with allusions to her marriage to Prince William V on 4 October 1767 in Berlin (Frederika Sophia Wilhelmina)

Reclam employed a smooth, layered oil technique typical of mid‑eighteenth‑century court portraiture. Fine brushwork renders the sitter’s white up‑do and pearl necklace with delicate precision, while broader strokes give the cherubs and angels a softer, almost sculptural presence. The chiaroscuro effect—dark background against bright attire and accessories—creates depth and emphasizes the central figure within the ornamental frame.

The work has been part of the Rijksmuseum’s collection since its acquisition, where it is displayed as part of the museum’s holdings of Dutch and European portraiture. Its provenance traces back to the original commission for the Prussian court, reflecting the diplomatic ties between Prussia and the Dutch Republic during the late 1760s.
