Drie ruiterportretten 1596 - 1630

"Drie ruiterportretten" (Three Equestrian Portraits) is an engraving by Claes Jansz. Visscher, a Dutch artist, depicting the rulers of Persia, Moscow, and China. The work, created between 1596 and 1630, is a fine example of the artistic style of the time, where it is a part of the larger genre of portraiture and historical illustration. The three rulers are portrayed on horseback, with the rider's ornate costume and their horses' attire visible in detail. The artist's meticulous depiction of the riders and their mounts, along with the decorative framework, highlights the importance of these rulers in the artist's view. The artwork can be found at the Rijksmuseum.
