EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 17th century portrays a young King of Siam, exuding an air of regality and power. The European School artist skillfully captures the essence of this historical figure, whose identity remains unknown. Dressed in an elaborate costume adorned with intricate details, the king wears a majestic crown that symbolizes his authority over the kingdom. A sword rests beside him in its scabbard, representing his readiness to defend his realm against any threat. His shield further emphasizes his role as protector and guardian. The portrait showcases not only the monarch's physical attributes but also offers a glimpse into Siamese culture during this era. It serves as a valuable historical artifact, providing insights into the customs and traditions prevalent at that time. Despite being just a child, this royal personage possesses an aura of maturity beyond their years. Their piercing gaze hints at wisdom and determination well beyond their tender age. As we admire this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back to 17th-century Thailand (then known as Siam), where monarchy reigned supreme. This artwork invites us to delve deeper into South East Asian history while marveling at the artistic talent that has preserved these moments for generations to come.
