"Frans II, Lodewijk II en Karel de Kale" (1620-1664) is an etching by Stefano della Bella (1610-1664), depicting three figures: Frans II, Charles the Bald, and Louis the Stammerer. The engraving is part of a series depicting the Kings of France. Each figure is shown in a standing pose and is accompanied by a short inscription in French detailing their lives and reign. The image is small, with detailed lines and precise rendering, characteristic of della Bella's style. It is now located in the Rijksmuseum.
