This 17th-century engraved portrait, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts Philips Willem, Prince of Orange. The artwork features a close-up view of the prince's face within an oval frame, surrounded by a Latin inscription detailing his titles: "Philippus D.G. Princeps Auraniae, Comes Nassovia, Baro Breda, Diest, Grimbergen, etc." The anonymous artist skillfully captures the prince's likeness through detailed lines, conveying his aristocratic bearing. The engraving, a popular printmaking technique of the time, exemplifies the artistic trends of the 17th century.
