"Portret van Frederik VI, markies van Baden-Durlach" (1739) is an etching by Dutch artist Simon Fokke (1712–1784), and is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The print depicts Frederik VI, the Margrave of Baden-Durlach, dressed in armor and holding a staff. Fokke’s work is often characterized by fine lines and detail, which contribute to the realism and expressiveness of the portrait. This etching is a testament to Fokke's skill in capturing the likeness and presence of his subject, and it serves as a valuable historical record of the Margrave’s appearance.
