Standvastigheid 1663 - 1716

"Standvastigheid" is a 17th-century engraving by Jacques-Antoine Friquet de Vauroze, a French artist. It depicts a scene of political intrigue, likely from Roman history. The central figure, seated on a throne, appears to be a king, while another figure stands before him, holding a sword. A fallen figure lies at the king's feet, suggesting a political power struggle. The artist's use of chiaroscuro and detail creates a dramatic and visually striking composition. This piece is a testament to Vauroze's skill as an engraver and his interest in historical themes.
