This engraving by Frans Hogenberg depicts King James I and Queen Anne of Denmark. The piece is composed of two individual portraits framed by elaborate arches. The couple is shown standing in regal attire, with James I holding a scepter and Anne holding a jeweled orb. A detailed genealogical tree is placed between the portraits. The artwork, dated 1603-1605, celebrates the royal couple and emphasizes their lineage, making it a historical record of the Stuart dynasty. It is a valuable example of printmaking during the reign of James I.
