This anonymous 17th-century engraving from the Rijksmuseum depicts Willem Lodewijk, Count of Nassau-Dillenburg, in an oval frame. The portrait is detailed and realistic, highlighting the subject's stern expression and prominent beard. The engraving is a fine example of the portraiture popular during the Dutch Golden Age, and offers a glimpse into the clothing and hairstyles of the period. The inscription around the oval frame and the text below it provide information about the subject's titles and lineage.
