About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious expression. He has a full beard, curly hair, and is wearing a high collar with lace details. A chain and pendant hang from his neck, and his hands rest on a dark, textured surface. The name "Maurice, Prince of Orange" is written below the image, and there’s a crest on the right side. The style looks old, but it’s actually a 19th-century copy. Next, check out how engraving works to see how artists create these detailed prints.
