About this work

Francis I (1494-1547), King of France, on horseback. Rider and horse in armour. The king holds the battle-axe in his right hand, a symbol of authority. The design derives from equestrian portraits by and after Cornelis Anthonisz., though the balance in the pose and the distribution of planes are lacking.
