About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a serious-looking man in old-fashioned clothes. He wears a lace collar and a dark doublet, with his hand resting on a hat. The background is plain, and his face is framed by a round border with text around it. The text names him Frederick Henry, with titles like Prince of Nassau. The artist’s name is also written at the bottom. This is made using engraving, a technique where lines are carved into metal.
