King 

Theodor Kittelsen was a Norwegian painter and illustrator known for his fantastical and humorous depictions of folklore and mythology. This painting, titled "King," exemplifies his unique style. The painting features a rotund king, adorned in a red and white robe and a golden crown, standing in a room decorated with intricate carvings. He has a mischievous grin and holds a dagger, perhaps reflecting his playful and slightly subversive nature. Kittelsen's work is often characterized by whimsical creatures, rich colors, and a subtle sense of humor.
