The composition features a seated monarch, draped in heavy robes and wearing a turban, who is being served by an attendant. The setting is architectural, defined by a large, ornate column that anchors the right side of the frame, draped with heavy, decorative fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDurlet employs a precise, calligraphic line quality to define the textures of the drapery, the stone of the column, and the facial features of the figures. The scene is filled with period-specific details, including a table set with vessels and a small group of musicians visible in the upper left background. The inclusion of a peacock, a symbol often associated with vanity or royal status in historical iconography, adds a layer of narrative curiosity to the domestic interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs an artist active in the mid-19th century, Durlet was known for his engagement with historical and architectural subjects. His work reflects the period interest in reviving past styles, often seen in the neo-Gothic and romanticised depictions of historical life. The etching demonstrates a high degree of control over light and shadow, using cross-hatching to create depth within the interior space. The figures are rendered with a focus on gesture and costume, characteristic of the illustrative traditions of the time. This print offers a glimpse into the technical skill of 19th-century Belgian printmaking, where the artist balanced narrative storytelling with architectural precision. The work is held in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, reflecting its status as a representative example of Durlet's graphic output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/man-in-a-tropical-forest-standing-by-water-johannes-christiaan-d-arnaud-gerkens-1\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMan in a Tropical Forest, Standing by Water - Johannes Christiaan d' Arnaud Gerkens — Johannes Christiaan d' Arnaud Gerkens\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/portrait-of-samuel-prout-john-jackson\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Samuel Prout - John Jackson — John Jackson\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Frans-Andries Durlet","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58801525031247,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58801529585999,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58801529618767,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58801529651535,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58801529684303,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58801529717071,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58801529749839,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58801529782607,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58801529815375,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58801529848143,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58801529880911,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58801529913679,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Koning-met-een-pauw_Poster_CompositorV1_1789612919579.jpg?v=1789613035","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/de\/products\/koning-met-een-pauw-franciscus-andreas-durlet","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
