About this work

This image shows a king with a long beard and crown, holding a scepter in one hand and pointing with the other. Around him are circles with names and crowns, connected by lines like a family tree. The background has a coat of arms and some text in an old-style font. The king is at the center, surrounded by his descendants and relatives. The lines and circles map out who is related to whom, like a puzzle of names and titles. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
