This engraving by Wolfgang Kilian, created between 1604 and 1608, depicts Maurice of Nassau, Prince of Orange. The portrait, housed at the Rijksmuseum, captures Maurice's stern countenance and military bearing. The circular frame surrounding the portrait is filled with a Latin inscription praising his military prowess and leadership. The engraving showcases the detailed style of printmaking popular in the early 17th century and provides a visual testament to Maurice's significant role in the Dutch Golden Age.
