About the piece
This 1650 oil painting captures Ludwig Heinrich of Nassau-Dillenburg in a dignified three-quarter pose. Painted by an anonymous artist of the Southern Netherlands, the work utilizes deep shadows to emphasize the brilliant highlights on the subject's face and shimmering silver-grey satin sleeve, creating a commanding presence.
