About the piece
This 1632 portrait depicts a young William II, Prince of Orange-Nassau, dressed in a sumptuous striped orange doublet with a delicate lace collar and a feathered cap. Standing against a dark, architectural backdrop with his faithful dog at his side, the work captures the dignity and innocence of youth in the Dutch Golden Age tradition.
