About the piece
Painted in 1889 by Albrecht De Vriendt, this powerful work depicts Boudewijn II (Baldwin II). The figure is rendered with meticulous detail, from his weathered features and red beard to the heavy mace resting on his shoulder. The use of a flat, textured gold background evokes the style of medieval icons, lending the piece a sense of timeless authority and decorative elegance.
