About this work

Portrait of King Charles I of England, full-length. In his hands he holds the sword and the scales of Justice, who stands beside him. She holds the royal scepter in her hand and crowns the king with a laurel wreath. In the lower margin four lines of text in two columns, in French. The print is part of a book about the reception of the French queen-mother Maria de' Medici in England.
