"Vorsten en Vorstinnen" (Princes and Princesses) is a woodcut print by Johan Noman, dating from 1806 to 1830. It features portraits of 16 historical figures, likely royalty, arranged in a grid of four rows with four portraits in each row. Each portrait is enclosed in a frame with a pointed arch and includes text below identifying the depicted individual. This print, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into Noman's artistic style and a historical record of these individuals.
