Koning op zoek naar een echtgenote 1574

This 1574 engraving by Wierix depicts a scene from the biblical story of King Solomon, who is depicted in the center wearing a crown. He is flanked by two men, who represent his advisors, as they are depicted discussing the decision to search the world for a suitable wife for the king. This scene, created during the Northern Renaissance, demonstrates the detailed and precise skill of Wierix's engraving technique. The print is now housed in the Rijksmuseum and is a prime example of Wierix's works.
