The Unmerciful Servant Brought before the King is a 1554 ink by Dirck Volckertz Coornhert, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a scene of a man being dragged before a king, with several other men surrounding them. The king sits on a throne, wearing a crown and holding a scepter, while the man being dragged is shirtless and appears to be struggling. The other men in the scene are dressed in robes and hats, and some of them seem to be restraining the struggling man. In the background, there is a large building with arches and columns, which adds to the sense of grandeur and authority. The overall atmosphere of the scene is one of tension and conflict, as the man being dragged seems to be resisting his fate. This painting is an example of Renaissance art, and it is held at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
