Portret van Frederika von Mecklenburg-Strelitz 1788 - 1828

This small, delicate engraving titled "Portret van Frederika von Mecklenburg-Strelitz" by Eberhard Siegfried Henne is a portrait of Frederika Caroline Sophie Alexandrine, Princess of Prussia. The work, which was created between 1788 and 1828, is a beautiful example of an engraved portrait, a popular form of portraiture in the 18th and 19th centuries. The image depicts the princess in an oval frame, with her face and upper body shown. She is dressed in a jacket and a white scarf with a bow tied beneath her chin. Henne captures her likeness with a fine level of detail, rendering the delicate features of her face with precision. The print is now part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum.
