About the piece

Painted by Pieter Isaacsz around 1615, this masterful portrait showcases King Christian IV of Denmark in a moment of royal splendor. The work is defined by its dramatic use of light and the meticulous rendering of the monarch's lace ruff, embroidered sash, and the glimmering royal crown and helmet resting nearby.
