Genre

Description

English: This portrait shows Engelbert II of Nassau, the future regent of the Netherlands, at around the age of 35. He is portrayed at half length, wearing a black doublet over a red undergarment that is visible at the slit sleeve and through the black lacing at his chest. He is also wearing a small black cap with a brim and the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece. The edge of a white shirt, which Engelbert appears to be wearing under the red garment, is just visible at the collar. X-ray photography has revealed that there were originally slits in the jacket at his chest and shoulders, which exposed more of his white shirt. The X-rays also revealed that his hat originally fit somewhat closer to the head and had a smaller brim, which was held in place by two large stitches.
