Active selection in cart:
Stadholder-King William III fell from his horse at Hampton Court, his English palace, on 4 March 1702 and broke his collarbone. Because of the splint his normal clothing no longer fit. Therefore he wore this adjusted garment: a waistcoat, with an open righthanded sleeve. The waistcoat is fastened with bow ties, but is otherwise undecorated. Despite the good care he received, William’s health failed and he died on 19 March. Origin: England. Date: before 1702. Object ID: NG-NM-1105.
