Maurice of Nassau, Prince of Orange

Crispijn de Passe I

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man's upper body, positioned slightly to the side but facing the viewer. The man has an oval-shaped face with prominent cheekbones and a slight smile. He has deep-set eyes beneath arched eyebrows, along with a beard and mustache. His hair is curly and styled upwards, shorter on the sides. The man is wearing a detailed garment, possibly a mix of metal and fabric, with a large, ornate ruff around his neck. The portrait is encased in an oval border with text and emblematic elements like shields and lions. The background features intricate line work.
