*Portret van Karel VI, koning van Frankrijk* (Portrait of Charles VI, King of France), a 1598 engraving by Jost Amman, is a small-scale work depicting the French monarch in profile. The work is characterized by the use of line and hatching to create a sense of volume and depth. Charles VI is shown wearing a crown and a cap, with a stern expression. The image is enclosed within a decorative frame with the inscription "CAROLVS VI. REX. FRANCORVM", which means "Charles VI, King of the Franks". The inscription, as well as the Latin and German text on the page, suggests that the work was created to be part of a larger series of historical figures. The work is currently located at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
