"De Koning" (The King) is an etching by Italian artist Giuseppe Maria Mitelli, dating back to 1675. This artwork portrays a regal figure adorned with a crown and elaborate garments, standing confidently with a scepter in hand. The figure’s attire and the dramatic drapery behind him create a sense of power and authority. This etching is a testament to Mitelli’s skill in depicting detail and capturing the essence of a royal presence. "De Koning" is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, a renowned institution for art and history.
