This 17th-century engraving, created by an anonymous artist, depicts a portrait of Philips, Count of Nassau. The subject of the portrait, Philip of Nassau-Dillenburg, is depicted in an oval frame with a Latin inscription identifying him and indicating his death date. The inscription also notes his titles as Count of Nassau, Lord of Catzennellenbogen, and Vianden. He is wearing a simple, closed collar and a ruff, indicating he is from a wealthy background. The portrait is framed in a square frame, which is a common style for 17th-century prints. This piece serves as a historical record of Philip of Nassau-Dillenburg, and is representative of the engraving style of the time.
