Jan Harmensz. Muller's 1625 engraving, "Portræt af Christian IV," depicts the King of Denmark and Norway, Christian IV, standing in full regalia. The detailed portrait highlights the King's ornate clothing, including a ruff, a richly decorated doublet, and a sash. The presence of a helmet and crown in the background further emphasizes the King's power and authority. Muller's meticulous technique showcases the intricate detail of the King's attire, while the inscription below the image formally identifies the King and his titles. This portrait, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offers a glimpse into the opulent courtly life of the 17th century and provides a visual representation of Christian IV's reign.
