"King Frederick II the Great of Prussia 1712-86 1746" is an oil on canvas portrait by the French painter Antoine Pesne, depicting Frederick II of Prussia, also known as Frederick the Great. Painted in 1746, the portrait captures the Prussian monarch at the age of 34, during the early years of his reign which lasted from 1740 until his death in 1786. Frederick II is renowned for his military victories, his patronage of the arts, and his role in the Enlightenment in Prussia.

Antoine Pesne (1683–1757) was a prominent court painter who worked extensively in Prussia, and his artistic contributions significantly influenced the visual representation of the Prussian court during the 18th century. In this particular work, Pesne portrays Frederick II in regal attire, with a focus on the king's enlightened and intellectual demeanor, which aligns with his reputation as a philosopher-king. The portrait is notable for its detailed rendering of the king's features, the luxurious textures of his clothing, and the use of light to emphasize his royal status.

This painting is one of several portraits of Frederick the Great by Pesne, who was a favored artist of the king and was instrumental in shaping the visual iconography of his reign. The artwork is an important historical document, as it reflects the contemporary aesthetic and cultural values of the Prussian court. It also serves as a testament to the relationship between the artist and his royal patron, providing insight into the role of portraiture in constructing and communicating monarchical power.

Today, the portrait is considered a significant piece of 18th-century European portraiture and is valued for both its artistic merit and its historical significance. It remains an enduring symbol of Frederick the Great's legacy and is often referenced in discussions of Prussian art and the Enlightenment era.
