On Friday, February 17th 2017, Queen Maxima appeared in the Dordrecht Museum in an olive green Natan dress with a golden brooch from Queen Juliana's vault. And this green fits perfectly with those landscapes populated with birds and other animals painting .

The queen who had accessorised with her New gray Fabienne Delvigne hat, gloves and gray Gianvito Rossi pumps, and a green clutch, Ole Lynggaard earrings, had come to the Dordrechts Museum to inaugurate a new exhibition. Entitled "Royal Paradise" , this one is devoted to the work of the animal painter Aert Schouman (1710-1792), born of this city of the south-east of Rotterdam.


Known for his watercolors of birds, mammals and plants, this Dutch artist is also the author of five large wall hangings made in the 18th century at the request of Prince Willem V, the last stadtholder of the United Provinces. The wife of the sovereign took the time to admire them as these, just restored, will be reinstalled in the palace Huis ten Bosch in The Hague, his future home. This royal residence is currently the subject of colossal works for the future installation of King Willem-Alexander, Queen Maxima and their three daughters Princesses Catharina-Amalia, Alexia and Ariane.
