This engraving by Leonhard Heckenauer, created between 1690 and 1697, depicts King Frederick I of Prussia. The portrait is framed by an elaborate oval of intertwined leaves, and the king is shown in a formal pose, wearing a lace collar and a robe. The engraved text identifies him as the "Marquis of Brandenburg" and "Arch-Treasurer of the Holy Roman Empire", emphasizing his royal status. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates the artist's skill in rendering detail and capturing the dignity of the subject.
