This anonymous 17th-century engraving, "Portret van Filips Willem, prins van Oranje," depicts a bust portrait of Philip William, Prince of Orange. He is shown wearing a richly decorated, high-collared garment that was typical of fashion during the 17th-century Dutch Golden Age. The portrait is framed by an ornate, swirling border, adding an element of formality and highlighting the subject's nobility. This etching, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the detailed and expressive style of portraiture prevalent during the period, capturing the subject's features with accuracy and nuance.
