This is one of the statues in The Netherlands of our late and, by a lot of Dutch people, beloved Queen Mother Emma. This statue can be found in the town of Middelburg, Zeeland. On the pedestal is written a saying of her: "Nederland zij groot in alles waarin ook een klein volk groot kan zijn." (Holland, be great in everything in which even a small nation can be great as well.) Wise words and an inspiration for a lot of my countrymen and -women.
