Maurice of Nassau, Prince of Orange is a 1600 ink by Crispijn van de Passe I, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a portrait of a man with short, light-colored hair and a beard, wearing a dark jacket with a high collar and a light-colored sash across his chest. The man is shown from the chest up, facing forward with a neutral expression. The background of the image is a dark, mottled color. The man's clothing and hairstyle suggest that the portrait was created during the Baroque period. The level of detail in the image, particularly in the man's face and clothing, indicates that the artist was skilled in their craft. The artist's use of engraving and cross-hatching techniques to create the image adds depth and texture to the portrait. The image is a great example of the work of Passe I, Crispijn van de.
