About this work
Prince Frederick Henry posed like a true commander for his court painter, Michiel van Mierevelt. Various copies of the likeness were subsequently made in the painter’s workshop, including the one on view here. This copy was commissioned by the Admiralty (navy) in Rotterdam, where it came to hang in the assembly hall, together with portraits of other members of the House of Orange.
