Note: This work appears to be after Godfrey Kneller's state portraits of William and Mary painted in 1690 as a separate pair, which hung in Kensington Palace. They are both shown in robes of state with orbs beside their crowns. The building in the background is Indigo Jones' banquet house, then Whitehall Palace. Kneller's official portraits were often copied and hung in British embassies abroad where they functioned as the official images of the monarchs. The portrayal and costume of William III here is reminiscent of Van Dyck's state portrait of Charles I. The resemblance may have been to remind the viewer that this newly-arrived king was Charles I's grandson.
