"Staande koning" (Standing King) is a watercolor drawing by Dutch artist Gesina ter Borch. It was possibly created between 1654 and 1656. The drawing depicts a king, wearing a crown and standing in profile, with a spear in his hand. Ter Borch's unique artistic style, influenced by her father Gerard ter Borch, is evident in the delicate details and graceful lines of this figure study, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
