Original fileafter Hendrick Goltzius
The Prince is shown three-quarter length, holding a commander's baton as a symbol of military authority. His helmet and a gauntlet rest on a table covered with a decorative fringed cloth, while his left hand rests on the hilt of his sword. The fine engraving captures the intricate decorative patterns etched into his breastplate and the textures of his starched ruff collar.
