Frederik III 1657

This 1657 etching by Albert Haelwegh, a prominent Dutch artist active from 1598 to 1673, depicts Frederik III, King of Denmark, Norway, and the Vandals. The artwork shows Frederik III in an oval portrait framed by an ornate foliage design. His elaborate attire and the Latin inscription below the portrait highlight his royal status. The etching, now housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark, is a significant example of 17th-century portraiture and provides valuable insight into the visual culture of the time.
