Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales is a 1604 ink by Crispijn van de Passe I, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man wearing a ruffled collar and a dark coat with lace trim. His hair is short and neatly combed, and he has a serious expression. The image is framed by a decorative border with text around it, including the words "Henry Prince of Wales." The engraving uses fine lines and shading to create depth, focusing on the man’s face and clothing. The text below is in Latin, which was common for important portraits of the time. Try looking up engraving to see how artists used this technique to make detailed prints.
