Wolfgang William, Count Palatine is a 1601 ink by Crispijn van de Passe I, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows a man with a beard and mustache, wearing a ruffled collar and a dark jacket. He is looking directly at the viewer. The background is a plain, dark color. The man's clothing and hairstyle suggest that the engraving was made during the Renaissance period. The level of detail in the engraving, particularly in the man's face and clothing, is impressive. The engraving is an example of the Renaissance style, which emphasized realism and attention to detail.
