Portret van Willem, graaf van Nassau-Siegen 1749 - 1759

This etching, created by Jacob Houbraken between 1749 and 1759, depicts Willem, Count of Nassau-Siegen, a prominent figure in the Dutch Republic. The portrait, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the count in a formal setting, with a lace collar and a hint of armor peeking out from beneath his robe, subtly suggesting his military role. The detailed engraving captures the count’s features in a realistic manner, making it a valuable historical document and a fine example of Houbraken’s masterful engraving technique.
