Frederick, King of Bohemia is a 1601 ink by Crispijn van de Passe I, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving depicts a man riding a horse, with the horse rearing up on its hind legs. The man is dressed in elaborate clothing, including a ruffled collar and a feathered hat, and holds a sword in his right hand. He wears armor on his arms and chest, and a cloak flows behind him. In the background, a landscape with buildings and trees is visible, although it is not the main focus of the image. The engraving features intricate details, such as the texture of the horse's mane and the folds of the man's clothing. The level of detail and realism in this engraving is impressive, and it showcases the artist's skill in capturing the subtleties of light and shadow.
