This etching by Michel Lasne, created in 1634, depicts Louis XIII of France on horseback. The composition, typical of equestrian portraiture, emphasizes the king's regal presence and authority. The figure of Louis XIII is rendered in meticulous detail, showcasing his armor and weaponry. Above him, angels ascend towards the heavens, symbolizing the divine right of kings and Louis's position as God's chosen ruler. This artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides valuable insight into the artistic trends and royal iconography of 17th-century France.
