This 18th century engraving by Franz Michelis depicts William George Frederick, Prince of Orange and Field Marshall of the Armies of His Imperial Majesty. The portrait is rendered in a realistic style, capturing the subject's likeness with detail. The print's small dimensions suggest it was intended for personal use, possibly as a memento or a gift. The inscription below provides biographical information, adding historical context and highlighting Frederick's military rank. The image is a valuable example of the use of printmaking to document individuals and events of the time, offering insight into the era's social hierarchy and the importance of military leadership.
