Silhouetportret van Frederik, prins van Oranje-Nassau 1786

This 1786 silhouette portrait by Jan Gerritsz. Visser depicts Frederik, Prince of Orange-Nassau, in profile. The piece features the Prince's head and shoulders within an oval frame, surrounded by a decorative laurel wreath and inscribed with his name, birthdate, and lineage. The inscription also highlights the Prince's status as the second son of William V, Prince of Orange, and his hereditary claim to the Nassau principalities. The artwork is a prime example of portraiture from the late 18th century, focusing on the subject's identity and status through precise detail and symbolic elements.
