Alexander de Grote ontvangt gezanten c. 1655 - 1665

Leonaert Bramer's *Alexander de Grote ontvangt gezanten* (c. 1655-1665) is a black chalk drawing depicting Alexander the Great receiving envoys. The scene is set outside a large tent, where Alexander, adorned in armor, stands in a regal pose, receiving a group of ambassadors. The drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the grandeur of Alexander's presence and the reverence shown by the envoys, showcasing Bramer's skill in depicting historical events with a sense of drama and realism.
