William I, Prince of Orange is a 1850 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious expression. He’s framed inside a circle, wearing a dark coat and a fur collar. Around him, fancy text wraps in a border, and a small crest sits below his shoulder. The lines are precise, with shading made by tiny crisscrossed marks. The text around him is in Latin and Dutch, listing titles like "Prince of Orange." The date at the bottom reads *obyt 1584*, meaning he died that year. His face looks worn, but the details are sharp.
