EDITORS COMMENTS
**A Regal Portrait: Prince of Orange William II (1649)**
This exquisite copper engraving, created in 1649, is a stunning representation of Prince of Orange William II. The artwork was crafted by Crispyn van the Queboorn and published by himself, based on a painting by Gerrit van Honthorst. Additionally, it was also published von Rombout van the Hoeye.
The engraving depicts the prince in half-length, with his face turned slightly to the right. He is adorned in armor and wears a medal of the Order of the Garter around his neck. The intricate details on his clothing are rendered beautifully by Van Queboorn's skilled hand.
Surrounding Prince William II is an ornate oval frame, complete with a transcription of the date 1649. At the bottom of the engraving lies a dedication legend in Latin, which reads: "To my most esteemed friend and patron." The artist has also signed his name at the initial letter on the right side.
This magnificent print not only showcases Van Queboorn's mastery of copper engraving but also provides a glimpse into European royalty during this period. It is an exceptional piece for art historians, collectors, or anyone fascinated by 17th-century portraiture and history.
