"Monniken, een koning en figuren in landschappen" (1824-1894) is a set of four illustrations created by Dutch artist Charles Rochussen (1814-1894). The artwork features a variety of scenes, including monks, a king, and figures in landscapes, showcasing Rochussen's skill in capturing detail and depicting human interaction. Now in the Rijksmuseum, the illustrations offer a glimpse into the lives and customs of the people of the time. The light and airy aesthetic of the pieces was typical of the Romantic movement.
