# Portrait of Frederick Hendrick, Prince of Orange-Nassau [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [DELFF, Willem Jacobsz]() - Date: 1601-1650 - Technique: Engraving printed on silk satin, 415 x 311 mm ## Commentary Frederick Hendrick \(1584-1647\) was Prince of Orange and Stadtholder of Holland from 1625 to 1647. He was the youngest child of William the Silent, born at Delft about six months before his father's assassination \(July 10, 1584\). This print was engraved after a lost portrait by Adriaen van de Venne. The print was published by his brother Jan van de Venne in 1618 and again in 1623. In 1619 the Van de Venne brothers were commissioned for twenty-five impressions printed on satin. These were intended for presentation as diplomatic gifts. ## Related artworks - [Cavalcade of Eleven Princes of Orange-Nassau]() - [Portrait of Charles I]() - [Portrait of Frederick Hendrick]() - [Portrait of Frederick Hendrick]() - [Portrait of Maria Strick]() - [Portrait of Maurits, Prince of Orange-Nassau]() - [Portrait of Prince Maurits]() - [Portrait of William the Silent \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
