Half-length portrait of Frederick de Marselaer, turned to the right, but looking towards the viewer. He wears a large cloak, lace trimmed cuffs, and a ruff. In his right hand, he holds a scroll, and tucked beneath his left arm is a sword. His coat of arms are featured in the upper right corner of the image. The portrait was featured in van Dyck's 'Icones Principum Virorum', first published in Antwerp between 1635 and 1636. Featured in the series were 100 etched or engraved portraits, many of which were of artists. Several of the plates within the series were etched by van Dyck, and various other printmakers contributed to the publication, including Lucas Vosterman I, Pieter de Jode II, Paulus Pontius, and Willem Hondius. Frederick de Marselaer (1534 - 1670) was a mayor of Brussels, and wrote a treatise on diplomacy. Adriaen Lommelin (1637 - 1673) was an engraver from the Netherlands. Anthony van Dyck (1599-1641) was a Flemish painter. A pupil of Rubens, Van Dyck worked in Italy from 1621-26, and then from 1632 onwards he predominantly painted in England, where he was knighted by Charles I.
