"Portret van Frederik Willem II" is an engraving by Johann Friedrich August Clar, created in 1792. This print depicts King Frederick William II of Prussia in an oval frame. Clar uses detailed hatching and cross-hatching to create a realistic portrait, focusing on the king's sharp features and elaborate military uniform. The inscription below the portrait provides his titles in German: "King of Prussia, Elector of Brandenburg, Margrave of Ansbach and Bayreuth." This engraving would have been a popular collectible for those interested in the history of Prussia and European royalty.
