This 18th century anonymous engraving depicts a bust portrait of Frederik Hendrik, Prince of Orange, with his coat of arms, contained within a laurel wreath. The inscription surrounding the bust reads, “FRID. HENRICVS. D.G. PRINC. AVRAI. COMNASS. FS," or “Frederick Henry by the Grace of God Prince, Commander, and Lord”. The image was likely created for a commemorative publication about Frederik Hendrik, and is an example of the graphic arts used to celebrate figures of power. It is housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
