About this work

In this image, a king sits on a throne, wearing a crown and a long robe. He holds a scepter in his right hand and grasps a sword with his left. A man stands before him, dressed in a hat and a long coat, holding a sword in his right hand. The scene is set against a backdrop of a tiled floor and a wall with a doorway. A small dog lies on the floor in front of the king, adding a sense of tranquility to the scene. The king's regal attire and the man's formal dress suggest a formal occasion or ceremony. This painting, "A king Enthroned," is held at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
