Portrait of Johan Maurits (1604-1679), Count of Nassau-Siegen, Founder of the Mauritshuis is a 1669 oil by Jan de Baen, a Dutch Golden Age work, depicting John Maurice, Prince of Nassau-siegen, held at Mauritshuis.
The painting is a portrait of a man in a dark robe with a blue sash, holding a white piece of paper in his left hand. He has a mustache and is wearing a large, dark coat with gold accents. The background is dark, with some faint images of buildings and people. The man's clothing and accessories suggest that he is a person of importance, possibly a noble or military leader. The style of the painting is formal and realistic, with attention to detail in the subject's clothing and surroundings. The painting is reminiscent of the work of Jan de Baen, a Dutch painter known for his portraits of nobles and military leaders.
Jan de Baen (20 February 1633 – 1702) was a Dutch portrait painter who lived during the Dutch Golden Age.
