About the piece
Painted in 1611 by Jan van Ravesteyn, this masterwork depicts Jan III, Count of Nassau-Siegen. He is shown in polished black armor with a gold-embroidered orange sash, holding a commander's baton and resting his hand on a plumed helmet. The contrast between the dark metallic surfaces and the vibrant orange plumage creates a compelling visual presence that anchors any formal space.
