"Henry Prince of Wales" is a portrait by Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger, a Flemish artist active in England during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The painting, dated to circa 1603, depicts Henry Frederick Stuart (1594–1612), the eldest son of King James VI and I, and Anne of Denmark. As the heir apparent to the thrones of England, Scotland, and Ireland, Henry Frederick was a significant figure in the Jacobean era, embodying the hopes and expectations for a Protestant monarchy following the Elizabethan age.

The portrait is executed in oil on canvas, a medium that Gheeraerts and his contemporaries popularized in England, moving away from the traditional use of wood panels. It showcases the artist's skill in rendering the rich textures and elaborate details of the prince's attire, which reflects his royal status and the fashion of the period. The young prince is typically shown in a pose of calm authority, often with symbols of power and virtue, such as a sword or a book, indicating his education and readiness to rule.

Gheeraerts the Younger was renowned for his portraiture, and his work is characterized by a sophisticated use of light and shadow, as well as a psychological depth that sought to convey the personality and status of his sitters. The "Henry Prince of Wales" portrait is a prime example of his mastery and contributes to the visual record of the English monarchy during a time of transition and expectation.

The painting is part of a broader collection of royal portraiture that served to reinforce the monarchy's image and legitimacy. It is not only a work of art but also a historical document that offers insights into the cultural and political milieu of the early 17th century. The portrait of Henry Prince of Wales by Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger holds a place of significance in the oeuvre of the artist and in the iconography of the British monarchy.
