Portretten van Louise Henriëtte, prinses van Oranje, en Frederik Willem van Brandenburg 1646 - 1699

This 17th-century engraving, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts double portraits of Louise Henriëtte of Nassau, and her husband, Frederik Willem of Brandenburg. The couple is framed within an oval, surmounted by a wreath of laurels. This type of portraiture was popular during the Baroque period, and reflects the influence of classicism on the art of the time. The inscription at the bottom of each portrait identifies the sitters, and the detailed engravings of their faces and attire showcase the skill of the anonymous artist. This small, yet intricate artwork offers a glimpse into the lives of a significant couple of the 17th century.
