This engraving, created in 1596 by Dominicus Custos, portrays Philips Willem, Prince of Orange, in a formal portrait. He is depicted wearing a lavishly embroidered coat and a ruff, which was a popular fashion statement of the time. The inscription surrounding the oval frame provides details about his titles and the date. This work is a prime example of the meticulous craftsmanship of engravings during the Renaissance period and is currently part of the Rijksmuseum's collection.
