This hand-colored print from the Rijksmuseum, titled “Heraut en Koning van Wapenen”, depicts two figures on horseback. The heraldic king, on the right, is in full regalia, while the herald, on the left, carries a standard with a coat of arms. This anonymous work, created between 1840-1841, provides a glimpse into the ceremonial roles and dress of the Dutch court during this era. The miniature size of the artwork, measuring just 90 mm x 110 mm, suggests it was intended for private collection.
