Portret van Frederik Willem, keurvorst van Brandenburg 1649

Cornelis Visscher’s 1649 etching, “Portret van Frederik Willem, keurvorst van Brandenburg,” depicts Frederick William, Elector of Brandenburg, in an oval frame. The detailed rendering of the elector’s features, from his long hair and moustache to the fur-trimmed collar of his royal robe, showcases the precision of Visscher's technique. This portrait, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the life of a prominent figure from the 17th century, exemplifying the artist's mastery of portraiture within the Dutch Golden Age.
