Henry of Nassau is a 1630 ink by Paulus Pontius, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image is a black and white engraving of a man in armor. He has long wavy hair and is holding a sword in his right hand. The man is wearing a suit of armor with a heart-shaped design on his left arm. The engraving is very detailed, with lots of fine lines and textures. The man's face is serious, and he looks like he's ready for battle. If you like this kind of art, you might want to check out more works from the Baroque movement.
