This anonymous engraving, possibly created between 1810 and 1812, portrays Maurits van de Palts, a prominent figure in 17th-century Europe. The subject, clad in elaborate attire and holding a riding crop, stands in a formal pose against a backdrop of a building and a fountain, likely referencing his aristocratic status. The engraving's detailed depiction of Maurits' clothing and accessories, including his feathered hat and lace-trimmed garments, reflects the sartorial trends of the era. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this engraving offers a glimpse into the visual culture and historical figures of the 17th century.
