Frontispiece from Frederick Hendrick van Nassauw by J. Commelijn
anonymous, anonymous, anoniem, anoniem, 1651 - 1656
The depiction is engraved on a copper plate. When printed, the scene appears in reverse from the design drawing. Upon delivering his drawing, Jansz must have given instructions about what should appear in the background. The landscape in the background of his design drawings can hardly be discerned. The cartouche, too, which in the drawings is still blank or missing entirely, has been filled in with a cavalry charge led by Prince Maurice.
