De weduwe van graaf Albrecht van Beieren doet afstand van zijn boedel, 1405 1842 - 1844

This lithograph, created by Johann Wilhelm Kaiser between 1842 and 1844, depicts a historical scene from 1405: the widow of Duke Albrecht of Bavaria renounces her claim to his estate. The scene, set in a vaulted hall, shows the widow standing before a group of clergy and other individuals. The artist's depiction of this pivotal moment, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers insight into the power dynamics and legal processes of medieval Europe. The detailed engraving captures the somber solemnity of the event, with the figures' somber expressions and the stark lighting emphasizing the gravity of the occasion.
