Stadssleutels worden aangeboden aan Lodewijk XIV, koning van Frankrijk 1674 - 1733

"Stadssleutels worden aangeboden aan Lodewijk XIV, koning van Frankrijk" is a 17th-century etching by Jan van Huchtenburg, depicting the surrender of the city keys to King Louis XIV. This piece, held in the Rijksmuseum, features a detailed scene of the ceremony, with the king mounted on horseback, receiving the keys from a kneeling figure. The cityscape in the background suggests the event took place during a military campaign. The scene is framed in an oval composition, common to etchings of this period, and is a testament to Huchtenburg's mastery of detail and perspective.
