The portrait shows the emperor William II (1859-1941) as a young man. His gaze goes up, the eyes looking into the distance. He wears a blue uniform with a red collar, and a military coat draped over his shoulders. A burgundy sash with green edges stretches across his chest. The composition lends a slight dynamism to the prince, who seems calm and almost dreamy.His chest is decorated with various medals and awards. The Hohenzollern royal lineage hangs on a chain. Prussian orders are also on display: the Order of the Red Eagle, the Order of the Black Eagle, and the Order of the Cross. The three stars on his collar indicate that he has already been awarded the highest military rank of Major General.Oil on canvasSize 71 × 52 cm
