Soup Plate

This plate is part of a service that the Dutch stadtholder (viceroy or lieutenant governor) Willem V received as a gift from the Dutch East India Company. The service was decorated with landscapes and cityscapes of the Netherlands and the Dutch East Indies. The scene on this plate, of the town of Zierikzee, was taken from a print engraved by Jan Caspar Philips (died 1775) after a drawing by Cornelis Pronk (1691-1759).
