Friedrich Wilhelm von Brandenburg became Elector of Brandenburg in 1640. Louise Henriette of Orange-Nassau was the eldest daughter of Frederik Hendrik and Amalia van Solms. The sitters married on 7 December 1646, and this painting was their official wedding portrait. The sitters are not shown in their wedding costumes, however.9 Friedrich Wilhelm is shown wearing his robes of state, and his crown and sceptre are held above him by putti, underlining not only his own status, but the success of Frederik Hendrik’s ambitious dynastic policy. There is a payment order of Friedrich Wilhelm for 36 full, half and bust-length replicas of the sitters dated 25 May 1647 and naming the recipients.10 The present painting formed a series together with SK-A-871 and SK-A-874.11 Jonathan Bikker, 2007 See Bibliography and Rijksmuseum painting catalogues See Key to abbreviations and Acknowledgements This entry was published in J.
