Wenceslaus Hollar's etching, "Karel I van Engeland gekroond door Gerechtigheid" (1639), depicts the coronation of King Charles I of England. The artwork shows the king standing in a regal pose, receiving a crown from the personified figure of Justice. This detailed etching, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a striking example of Hollar's mastery of the medium and provides a glimpse into the visual culture of 17th-century Europe.
