Koning op troon 1645 - 1646

"Koning op troon" (King on Throne) is a 17th-century engraving by Dutch artist Christoffel van (II) Sichem. Created between 1645 and 1646, the artwork depicts a crowned and robed king seated on a throne, holding a scepter and pointing with his left hand, as if making a gesture of authority. The king's figure is framed by a simple architectural structure, adding a sense of grandeur and power. The work exemplifies Sichem's meticulous detail and the graphic style of the Dutch Golden Age. This small-scale engraving, measuring 111 mm in height and 88 mm in width, is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
