This anonymous engraving of Johan Maurits, Count of Nassau-Siegen, is an example of Dutch portraiture from the 17th century. The subject is depicted in a formal pose, adorned with armor and a crown, showcasing his military and aristocratic status. The surrounding heraldic elements, including his coat of arms, a lion, a helmet, and a sword, emphasize his power and lineage. This work, currently held in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the visual culture and social hierarchy of the Dutch Golden Age.
