Full-Length Portrait of Johan Maurits (1604- 1679), Count of Nassau-Siegen
<p>Johan Maurits, Count of Nassau-Siegen was the original occupant of the Mauritshuis. He had already been dead for nearly fifty years when Van Logteren made this terracotta statue of him. Van Logteren probably produced this as a design for a large statue he was commissioned to make, although we know nothing of such a commission. The count is depicted full-length and is dressed as a lordly ruler, with state armour, a helmet, a sword and a captain’s staff.
