Amalia, Wife of Fredierick Henry, Prince of Orange

About this work

This is a black-and-white engraving of a woman in fancy 17th-century clothes. She’s wearing a big, ruffled collar and a high, decorative hat with feathers. Her dress has deep folds and a long train, and she holds a small book or fan in one hand. In the background, two small scenes show city views labeled "Wesel" and "Verovert." The text at the top and bottom names her as Amalia, with a long list of titles. The artist’s name, Frederik de Wit, is signed at the bottom. The lines in the image aren’t smooth—they’re made up of tiny, repeated marks. Look up engraving to see how artists like de Wit created these detailed prints.
