Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange is a 1609 ink by Willem Jacobsz Delff, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving depicts a man in armor, holding a sword in his right hand and a staff in his left. He wears a ruffled collar and has a mustache. The background is dark, with a curtain or drapery behind him. The man's armor is detailed, with rivets and a belt around his waist. His facial expression is serious, and he looks directly at the viewer. The engraving is done in a cross-hatching style, with many fine lines that create shading and texture. The level of detail in the engraving suggests a high level of skill on the part of the artist. If you're interested in seeing more works like this, you might want to explore the Renaissance movement.
