This engraving shows two people standing side by side, dressed in fancy 17th-century clothes. The man wears a big coat with buttons and a star on his chest, while the woman has a high collar, pearls, and a bracelet. Behind them, a small scene shows a river with buildings and a boat. The text at the bottom names them as "Ludovicus, XIII" and "Anna Austriaca," which likely means they’re royalty. The artist signed it as Cornelis van Dalen.
