William I, Prince of Orange is a 1628 ink by Crispyn van den Queboorn, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a serious-looking man with a dark beard and ruff collar. He wears a fur-lined robe and holds a small object in his left hand. The background is plain, but the edges of the oval frame are filled with Latin text. The artist used fine lines and shading to create depth, especially in the fur and fabric. This style was common in the 1600s for detailed portraits. Next, look up engraving to see how artists carved images into metal plates.
Crispyn van den Queboorn (1604–1652) was an artist.
