The interiors of the Peace Palace form a mosaic of artistic treasures reflecting the diverse cultural heritage of the PCA’s Founding Nations.
Portrait of Queen Wilhelmina
Portrait of Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands at the age of eighteen by Jan ten Kate Sr. circa 1900. She is portrayed as a young sovereign with a palm branch, symbolizing peace, in her hand and with the beach of Scheveningen in the background.
The creation of the PCA during the first Hague Peace Conference in 1899 marked a decisive moment in the history of international diplomacy. Queen Wilhelmina played a crucial role here: in addition to her diplomatic support for the conference initiated by Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, she made the palace of Huis Ten Bosch available as the venue for the First Hague Peace Conference. Her commitment and dedication to the cause of international peace and justice were essential to the success of that conference, which eventually led to the establishment of the PCA in 1899.
To honour Queen Wilhelmina’s legacy and support, one of the first steps after the creation of the PCA was to obtain a portrait of the young queen by painter Jan ten Kate for the PCA’s first office, which was located at 71 Prinsegracht in The Hague.

[edit]
The link from the table at the bottom from "Ottoman Caliphs" to "Ottoman Sultans" is wrong; from the article, Abdul Mejid was Caliph of Islam, but not Sultan of the Turks.
