This 1515 woodcut by an anonymous artist depicts the peace treaty between Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I and King Henry VII of England. The composition features the two rulers standing with their respective courts, positioned on either side of a boat sailing on a river. The detail and precision of the artwork suggest that it was created as a historical record of a significant event. The woodcut's small dimensions, measuring 173 mm high by 150 mm wide, suggest it was likely intended for personal use or collection. This woodcut serves as a valuable historical document, providing insight into the political climate of early 16th century Europe and the importance of peace agreements in the period.
