Portret van koning Arthur in medaillon binnen rechthoekige omlijsting met ornamenten 1594

Nicolaes de Bruyn's 1594 engraving, "Portret van koning Arthur in medaillon binnen rechthoekige omlijsting met ornamenten," depicts King Arthur in a roundel framed by an elaborate rectangular border. The border is filled with decorative motifs, including cherubs, flowers, and mythical creatures. The composition, along with the ornate frame, is characteristic of the Mannerist style popular in the Netherlands during the late sixteenth century. The print was likely commissioned by a patron interested in the legend of King Arthur, a popular figure in European folklore.
