Hendrik Bary's 1671 engraving "Portret van Willem I, prins van Oranje" depicts Willem I, Prince of Orange, in a detailed portrait. The artwork is notable for its intricate frame, decorated with symbolic motifs, and the inclusion of a poem in the bottom margin that praises Willem I's leadership. The print showcases Bary's mastery of detail and his ability to capture the essence of his subject in a small-scale format. The Rijksmuseum houses this historical piece, offering a glimpse into the artistic and political culture of the Dutch Golden Age.
