This 17th-century engraving by Philips Serwouters depicts two equestrian portraits. On the left, a king of Denmark riding a horse in full gallop, his sword held high. On the right, a grand duke of Moscow, seated majestically on his steed. Both figures are framed by decorative archways, which add to the sense of power and grandeur. This print, likely a commissioned work, demonstrates Serwouters' mastery of detail and composition, showcasing his skill in portraying royal figures with an air of authority and magnificence. The artwork, titled "Ruiterportret van een koning en een ruiterportret van een groothertog van Moskou," is a testament to the Dutch artistic tradition of equestrian portraiture, a style that flourished during this period.
