Visual artist Kees Verkade (1941-2020) made this striking sculpture of former Queen Juliana and Prince Bernhard in 2009 for the former queen's 100th birth anniversary. It stands in the garden of Soestdijk Palace where she lived with Prince Bernhard from 1937 until her death in 2004.
Kees Verkade made many commissioned sculptures in his long career. These included for Monaco's House Grimaldi, but he also made several monuments and sculptures of famous people such as Audrey Hepburn, Anton Pieck and Frits Phillips. He died in 2020 in Monaco, where he settled in the late 1970s.
