About the piece

Painted in 1657 by Cornelis Janssens van Ceulen, this portrait depicts William III, Prince of Orange, as a young child. The work is a prime example of the artist's refined style, showcasing his skill in rendering fine textiles like the prince's luminous yellow doublet and delicate lace collar. The composition uses a 'feigned oval'—a popular 17th-century device where a frame is painted onto the rectangular canvas to create a sense of depth and architectural importance.
