This anonymous engraving from the Rijksmuseum depicts King Henry IV of France. The print, created between 1592 and 1667, features a detailed portrait of the king in an oval frame. Henry IV is shown wearing a plumed hat and a ruff collar, characteristic of 16th-century fashion. The inscription around the oval identifies him as "HEN RICVS. IV. D. G. REX FRANC" - Henry IV, by the Grace of God, King of France. This engraving showcases the artistry of anonymous printmaking and provides a glimpse into the visual culture of the period.
