Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange

Willem Outgertsz Akersloot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man standing confidently. He has a mustache and goatee, curly, shoulder-length hair, and is dressed in an ornate suit of armor with a lace collar and cuffs. He is holding a sword with his right hand and has his left hand resting on a shield stand with various coat of arms. Next to him, there is a helmet with feathers on a pedestal, a map labeled "Mar del Zur" and "America." The background shows a cityscape with church spires and buildings, military activity with soldiers and horses, and a sky with soft clouds.
