Portret van Frederik de Grote 1760

This is a portrait of Frederick the Great, King of Prussia, created by Johann Ernst Gericke in 1760. The print, now in the Rijksmuseum, depicts Frederick in a military uniform, suggesting his role as a powerful ruler. It likely served as a propaganda piece, highlighting his strength and leadership. The inscription at the bottom confirms the artwork’s purpose: "Fridericus Rex S.R.I. Magnus Borussia Elector" (Frederick, King of Prussia, Great Elector of Brandenburg).
