Maurice of Nassau is a 1659 by Jonas Suyderhoff, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting depicts a man with curly hair, wearing a ruffled collar and ornate clothing. He is shown from the chest up, facing the viewer. The background is dark, and the man's face and clothing are illuminated, creating a sense of depth and dimension. The man's expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. His clothing and accessories suggest that he is a person of importance or wealth. The overall effect of the painting is one of grandeur and dignity. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a dramatic effect, drawing the viewer's eye to the subject's face and clothing.
