This anonymous engraving from the 17th century depicts Maurice of Nassau, Prince of Orange. The portrait is characterized by its realistic portrayal of the prince in a formal setting, wearing armor and a large ruff. The inscription below the oval frame identifies Maurice with his titles as Prince of Orange, Count of Nassau, and Governor of the Provinces. This detailed engraving is likely from a series of portraits commemorating the life and accomplishments of this important historical figure. The piece is currently held at the Rijksmuseum.
