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 portrait shows a man with wavy hair, dressed in 17th-century attire. He wears a lace collar, a dark jacket with buttons down the front, and a light-colored sash across his chest. The background is a dark, textured oval, surrounded by an engraved border with text and decorative elements. The man's face is serious, and his eyes seem to gaze directly at the viewer. The engraving technique creates intricate details, such as the texture of his hair and the folds of his clothing. The artist's use of cross-hatching adds depth and dimension to the portrait.
