1601
ink
From the collection of Rosenwald Collection
Frederick V, Elector Palatine, Later King of Bohemia is a 1601 ink by Crispijn van de Passe I, a Renaissance work, held at Rosenwald Collection.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in fancy 17th-century clothes. He’s wearing a ruffled collar, a dark jacket with buttons, and a chain around his neck. His hands hold a small object—maybe a piece of paper or a tool—while his face looks calm but serious. The background is plain, keeping all focus on him. The text around the edges is in Latin, naming him and listing titles like "Elector Palatine." The artist used fine lines to create shadows and texture, making the fabric and skin look almost real. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
Crispijn van de Passe I (1564–1637) was an artist, born in Arnemuiden.
