The image is a half-length portrait of a young man identified as "William, Prince of Orange." He is facing forward with his head slightly turned to his left, looking directly at the viewer. His features are delicate and youthful, with large eyes and full lips. His hair is long, wavy, and shoulder-length. He wears an elaborate outfit with a lace collar and a detailed coat. The portrait is framed with an oval border against a hatched background, and an inscription at the bottom identifies him as "William, Prince of Orange."
