Frederick V, king of Bohemia and count Palatine of the Rhine (1596-1632), and his wife Elizabeth Stuart (1596-1662). They married in London in 1613, and Frederick accepted the crown of Bohemia in 1619, but just after a year later his reign as king ended following the Battle of White Mountain, and they spent the rest of their lives in exile (mostly at the Hague). For this reason they are nicknamed 'The Winter King' and 'The Winter Queen'. Pair of British mezzotints after portraits by Michiel van Mierevelt (1567-1641), Dutch artist who became official painter to the stadholder court and painted many portraits of members of the House of Orange Nassau, as well as foreign sitters such as Sir Dudley Carleton and Edward Cecil, Viscount Wimbledon.
