About the piece
Created in 1631 by the Dutch master Gerard van Honthorst, this regal portrait depicts Frederick V, King of Bohemia. Standing with a hand on his hip and a crown resting nearby, the subject is rendered with the luminous clarity and sophisticated lighting characteristic of the period. The bold red curtain provides a dramatic backdrop for the meticulously painted lace collar and dark velvet garments, making it a commanding piece for a library or formal living space.
