"Frederik III" is an engraving by Albert Haelwegh, created in 1648. The print depicts King Frederik III of Denmark in an oval frame, wearing a lace collar and a decorative cloak over armor. The inscription below includes his titles and the year of his birth, MDIX (1509). This portrait, now in the Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases the precision and detail of Haelwegh's work, a prominent engraver in the Dutch Golden Age, and is an example of royal portraiture popular in the 17th century.
