Frederick Christian of Denmark

Renold Elstrack

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a portrait of an individual from the waist up in an elaborate frame with an angelic figure above. The person faces forward with a slightly turned body posture, wavy hair falling around their face, and delicately drawn facial features. They are dressed in richly detailed clothing with intricate patterns, including a high lace ruffle collar and a sash diagonally across their chest. The individual appears to be holding something with their left hand. In the background, there is an ornate design with an angel and heraldic symbols within an oval frame. An inscription in Latin encircles the portrait, with additional text below providing details about the person's identity and lineage.
