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 image shows a family tree made of branches and portraits. At the top sits a man in a round frame, with smaller ovals below for other relatives—each labeled with names and titles. Crowns, flowers, and coats of arms decorate the scene, giving it a formal, almost heraldic look. The top name, *Henricvs*, marks the Prince of Wales, surrounded by his siblings and cousins. The Latin text at the bottom explains this is a genealogy chart, likely meant to show royal connections. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this carved detailed images into metal.
