Frederick V, Elizabeth, and Prince Frederick Henry is a 1621 ink by Simon van de Passe, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows three people in a circular frame. The woman on the left wears a fancy dress and a big necklace. She has a crown on her head. The man on the right has short hair and wears a fancy shirt with lace. There's a small child in the middle, wearing a fancy collar. The engraving is very detailed, with lots of lines that make the people look real. It's like a drawing, but made with a special tool that cuts into metal.
