Painted by Georg Wenceslaus von Knobelsdorff in 1735, this oil on canvas masterpiece showcases the future King of Prussia in all his regal splendor. Standing tall and proud, Frederick II exudes an air of aristocracy and nobility. Dressed in a resplendent uniform adorned with intricate armor, he embodies the essence of royalty. The artist skillfully portrays the young prince's commanding presence and determination through his confident stance. Intriguingly, Frederick II holds a telescope in one hand, symbolizing his intellectual curiosity and passion for knowledge. This detail hints at the ruler's renowned interest in philosophy and enlightenment ideals that would shape his reign. Beside him stands a loyal servant, further emphasizing both his status and authority within society. The composition is meticulously crafted to highlight not only Frederick II but also the opulence of Schloss Sanssouci -his grand residence located in Potsdam, Brandenburg. This remarkable print offers viewers a glimpse into history; it encapsulates the transition from crown prince to one of Europe's most influential monarchs. With its rich colors and attention to detail, this artwork serves as a testament to both Knobelsdorff's artistic prowess and Frederick II's enduring legacy.
