Portretten van de koningen Jotam en Achaz Possibly 1610 - 1654

This anonymous engraving from the 17th century features portraits of two Judean kings, Jotham and Ahaz, in oval frames. Both portraits showcase the kings in regal attire, emphasizing their royal status. Created for a book titled "Beeldiche vertooningh der Koningen Juda," the artwork likely aimed to illustrate historical figures from the Bible. The text beneath each portrait provides a biographical description of each king, highlighting their reign and deeds. This engraved work is an example of historical illustration, offering a glimpse into the visual representations of biblical figures during the Dutch Golden Age.
