Frederick V, King of Bohemia

Peter Isselburg

National Gallery of Art

The image is an engraving depicting the upper body of a formal, seated man. His face is turned slightly to the left, looking directly at the viewer. He has defined facial features with a prominent nose, voluminous eyebrows, a mustache, and short, curly dark hair. The man is wearing an elaborate outfit with visible striped armor on his right arm, a large ruffled collar, and a draped sash crossing his chest. He holds a baton-like object in his right hand. Surrounding the portrait is an ornate oval frame with inscriptions, flanked by two seated female figures and a crowned coat of arms at the top. The background features intricate, symbolic engravings.
