"Portrait of Henry, Prince of Wales" is a notable painting by the Flemish artist Paulus Van Somer, created in the early 17th century. This portrait captures Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales, the eldest son of King James I of England and Anne of Denmark. Henry was a highly esteemed figure during his lifetime, celebrated for his intellect, athleticism, and potential as a future monarch. Unfortunately, his untimely death at the age of 18 in 1612 curtailed what many believed would be a promising reign.

Van Somer, who was active in England from around 1616 until his death in 1621, was renowned for his skill in portraiture, particularly of the English nobility. His works are characterized by their meticulous attention to detail and the ability to convey the sitter's status and personality. In this portrait, Van Somer employs a rich palette and fine brushwork to depict the young prince in a dignified and regal manner.

The painting shows Prince Henry in an elaborate costume befitting his royal status, complete with a richly embroidered doublet and a lace ruff. His pose is both commanding and graceful, reflecting his noble upbringing and the high expectations placed upon him. The background is relatively subdued, ensuring that the viewer's focus remains on the prince himself.

This portrait not only serves as a significant historical record but also exemplifies the artistic trends of the Jacobean era. It highlights the importance of portraiture in asserting and commemorating the identities of the elite. The "Portrait of Henry, Prince of Wales" remains an important piece within the canon of early 17th-century English art, offering insight into the life and image of one of the most promising figures of the Stuart dynasty.
