William, Prince of Orange

Cornelis Visscher after Gerrit van Honthorst

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man from the chest up, positioned facing slightly to the left while looking towards the viewer. He has distinct facial features, a neatly groomed mustache and beard, and is wearing a small cap on his head. His hair is short and lies beneath the cap. The man is dressed in a formal outfit with a fur-lined coat and a high-collared shirt with a prominent ruffled collar. There are no visible objects in his hands or any jewelry. The background is a detailed, textured pattern that frames the man within an oval border. The border includes an inscription along its top edge, and there is additional text below the oval.
