Cornelis Anthonisz's "Portret van Hendrik VIII van Engeland" is an equestrian portrait of Henry VIII, King of England, dating from after 1536. The woodcut depicts Henry VIII, clad in armor, riding a horse with a rich caparison. The artwork was created using the technique of woodcuts, a process that involved carving an image in wood. This portrait, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a good example of the style of the time and showcases the detailed execution of woodcuts.
