About the piece
This striking 1879 painting by Jan van Beers depicts a young Emperor Charles V in a moment of quiet dignity. Seated in a plush green velvet chair and flanked by a greyhound in matching finery, the child’s serious expression and the rich textures of his royal attire create a scene of old-world elegance and historical depth.
