William of Nassau, Vice-Admiral of Holland

Balthasar Moncornet (publisher)

National Gallery of Art

The image is an engraved portrait of a man. He is facing slightly to his right with curly ear-length hair, a thin upward-curving mustache, and ornate clothing including a high ruffled collar and a striped doublet with decorative buttons. The man is surrounded by an intricately designed oval frame with swirling patterns and a shell motif at the top. The background is densely crosshatched, and text near the oval frame identifies the person as "Guillaume de Nassav Seigneur du Lec," accompanied by decorative scrollwork.
