Portret van Friedrich Wilhelm III 1780 - 1833

This engraved portrait of Friedrich Wilhelm III, King of Prussia, was created by Meno Haas in the early 19th century. The print depicts the king in profile, his face framed by a powdered wig and a high collar. Haas, a prolific engraver and draftsman, was renowned for his detailed and realistic depictions of historical figures. This print is an example of the Neoclassical style, which emphasized clarity, order, and a return to the principles of ancient Greek and Roman art. The portrait's simple composition and focused portrayal of the king's likeness reflect these ideals.
