About the piece

This striking oil portrait from 1621 depicts Philips, Count of Nassau, in his military finery. The subject is rendered with a steady, direct gaze, wearing meticulously detailed steel armor crossed by a bold orange sash—the traditional color of the House of Orange-Nassau. Gold inscriptions in the upper corners lend an archival, scholarly character to the work, making it an ideal centerpiece for a classic study or traditional gallery wall.
