Cornelis van Dalen I's 1647 etching, *Dodelycke Uytgang van Syn Hoogheyt Fred. Hendrik Prince van Oranje etc. Anno 1647*, depicts the deathbed scene of Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange. The detailed scene takes place in a lavishly decorated room with the dying Prince surrounded by family, dignitaries, and attendants. A small dog sits at the foot of the bed, symbolizing the Prince's loyalty and companionship. This intricate work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a poignant glimpse into the life and death of a key figure in Dutch history.
