Maurice, Prince of Orange is a 1614 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a portrait of a man with a serious expression. He has curly hair and a beard, and is wearing a ruffled collar and a cloak with a large button. The background is dark, with a lighter area behind the man's head. The man is shown in a formal, three-quarter view, with his body turned slightly to the right. His face is the main focus of the portrait, and his expression is stern and authoritative. The engraving technique used to create the portrait is evident in the detailed lines and textures of the man's clothing and hair. The portrait is a fine example of Baroque art, characterized by its dramatic lighting and detailed realism.
