Lot Essay

Jurgen Rascher (op. cit.) dates this view of the Binnenhof seen from the West to circa 1765 and relates it to a signed and 1765 dated drawing by Haag in the Royal Collections in The Hague, inv.no. AT-0064. This is a year before William V prince of Orange (1748-1806) turned eighteen and became stadtholder. The present lot illustrates a ceremonial outing of the prince and Duke Louis Ernest of Brunswick-Lüneburg (1718-1788) who, after the death of Princess Anna of Hanover in 1759, became the governing guardian for the minor Prince William V. Tethart Philipp Christian Haag rendered the company leaving the gates of the Binnenhof in a luxurious carriage with an escort on horseback and a forerunner with staff. In the foreground, common city life continues in spite of the grandiose departure. A lamplighter is depicted to the left and children playing marbles, a shoe shiner, a milkmaid and a woman sweeping the street are portrayed on the right side of the composition.
