This 19th-century print by Jacob Plügger, titled "De vorst die naar 's lands wet het gansche volk regeert," depicts a king and queen on horseback. The image is divided into two panels, each framed by an elaborate border of interlacing circles and floral motifs. The king, clad in a blue uniform and holding a sword, rides towards the left. His queen, adorned in a white gown and a crown, rides to the right. The accompanying text extols the virtues of a righteous king and the supportive role of his queen, a popular theme in Dutch art of the period. This piece, housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the artistic style prevalent in the Netherlands during the early 19th century.
