Portret van Frederik de Grote 1740 - 1788

This is a portrait of Frederick the Great, King of Prussia, by Johann Esaias Nilson. Created between 1740 and 1788, it shows Frederick in profile, set within an ornate oval frame. The frame is adorned with foliage and surmounted by a crown, emphasizing his regal status. Below the portrait, a shield with the inscription "FRIDERICUS REX BORUSSORUM" (Frederick, King of the Prussians) rests on a pedestal flanked by cherubs, signifying his power and authority. This print is a testament to Nilson's skill in capturing the likeness and stature of a prominent historical figure through meticulous detail and refined composition.
