Busteportret van Frederik Hendrik, prins van Oranje-Nassau 1628 - 1670

This etching by Pieter de Jode II, dated between 1628 and 1670, depicts a bust portrait of Frederik Hendrik, Prince of Orange-Nassau. The artwork is displayed in the Rijksmuseum and showcases Frederik Hendrik in an armored breastplate and a lace collar, a symbol of his military power and aristocratic status. The city of Breda can be seen in the background, possibly alluding to his important role as the stadtholder of Holland during the Eighty Years' War. The engraving is a testament to the skill of De Jode II and the visual representation of power and prestige in the Dutch Golden Age.
