EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Willem I, Prince of Orange, also known as William the Silent (1533-1584), a pivotal figure in Dutch history. Painted around 1632 in the workshop of Michiel Jansz van Mierevelt, this artwork captures the aristocratic elegance and authority of the Count of Nassau.
