"Karl VI" is a lithograph created by Austrian artist Josef Kriehuber in 1828. It depicts a full-length portrait of Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Hungary, wearing lavish royal attire, including a gold-trimmed tunic, a red velvet cape, and a long wig. The portrait emphasizes Charles VI's royal authority and power, positioning him against a backdrop of a table draped in blue and gold fabric, on which sits a golden crown. Kriehuber's depiction of Karl VI is an example of historical portraiture that captures the grandeur and majesty of European royalty in the 18th century.
