Portret van Frederik III van Pruissen c. 1840

This portrait of Friedrich Wilhelm, Prince of Prussia, was created by Friedrich Jentzen around 1840. The artwork depicts the prince in a military uniform, holding a helmet and gazing directly at the viewer. The detailed portrayal of the prince's attire and the serious expression on his face conveys a sense of authority and power, typical of portraiture of royalty in the 19th century. Jentzen, a German artist known for his portraits and historical paintings, captures the subject's likeness with precision, offering a glimpse into the life of a prominent figure of the Prussian court. This portrait, measuring 625mm x 459mm, is a fine example of the realism characteristic of 19th-century portraiture.
