King Arthur, Nine Worthies engraving by Nicolaes de Bruyn, 1594
An engraved oval medallion shows a bearded, helmeted man in armor, turned to the right, framed by two nude putti holding up rods and by floral urns and a grotesque mask above. A cartouche below reads "Artus Rex," and the plate's inscription gives Nicolaes de Bruyn's name and the date 1594, in black-ink engraving on cream paper.
