Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales is a 1598 ink by Cornelis Boel, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving features a circular portrait of a man, likely a royal figure, surrounded by ornate details. The man's face is rendered in fine lines, with a ruffled collar and armor visible beneath his clothing. Above the portrait, two cherubs hold a crest, while two female figures flank the circular frame, each holding a scepter or staff. The engraving's level of detail suggests a high degree of skill on the part of the artist. The use of cross-hatching to create shading and texture adds depth to the image.
