"Beroald, vierde koning der Friezen" is an engraving by Pieter Feddes van Harlingen from 1618 to 1620. The artwork, now at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a historical figure on horseback. The central figure is a warrior riding a horse with a raised bow and arrow, likely representing a moment of battle. The intricate border design and Latin inscription add to the historical significance of the piece, suggesting it was likely part of a larger series exploring the history of Frisia. This engraving reflects the artistic styles of the early 17th century, particularly the detailed linework and focus on historical figures. The artwork offers insight into Dutch history and the visual language of historical portraiture.
