This anonymous woodcut from 1622 portrays Sigismund III, King of Poland and Sweden. The artwork consists of two circular images, one displaying the king in profile wearing a crown and holding a sword, and the other showing his coat of arms. This engraving likely served as a visual representation of the king's authority and lineage. It provides valuable insight into the visual culture of the time and offers a glimpse into the artistic practices of an anonymous artist.
