Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales is a 1620 ink by Magdalena van de Passe, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white portrait shows a young man in a stiff collar and fancy ruff. He wears a dark doublet with a high neckline and a chain around his neck, looking serious. The image is framed by a decorative border with text around it, like a name or title. The print is an engraving, meaning it was etched into metal and then printed. This technique lets artists create detailed lines and textures, even in monochrome. Look up engraving to see how artists like this made prints before photography.
Magdalena van de Passe (1620–1620) was an artist.
