Prins Frederik op zijn sterfbed, 1799 1853 - 1861

Clemens Prosper Schreurs's 1853-1861 print, "Prins Frederik op zijn sterfbed, 1799," depicts a poignant scene of Prince Frederick on his deathbed in 1799. The print features a detailed composition showing the Prince in a four-poster bed with several figures gathered around him, including a priest, a doctor, and a soldier. Schreurs's meticulous detail, particularly in the rendering of the figures' clothing and expressions, highlights the solemnity of the moment and evokes a sense of historical realism. This small-scale print, measuring 160 mm by 238 mm, demonstrates the artist's skill in capturing the drama of a pivotal historical event.
