Frederik Hendrik, Prince of Nassau-Orange is a 1618 ink by Willem Jacobsz Delff, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving depicts a man in ornate attire, standing in a room with a large window. He wears a tall hat with a feather, a ruffled collar, and a cloak draped over his shoulder. The man holds a staff in his right hand, and his left hand rests on a table beside him. In the background, a suit of armor stands behind a curtain, while people and dogs are visible through the window. The engraving features intricate cross-hatching, which creates a sense of depth and texture. The artist's use of light and shadow adds volume to the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure.
