This print showcases a reconstruction drawing by the talented artist Ivan Lapper, depicting the enigmatic figure of Dark Age Cornish King J940332. Set against the magnificent backdrop of Tintagel Castle in Cornwall, this illustration brings to life a pivotal character from ancient history. Lapper's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke, as he skillfully captures the essence of this legendary ruler. Clad in regal attire and adorned with intricate jewelry, King J940332 exudes an aura of power and authority. His piercing gaze hints at a deep wisdom acquired through years of leadership. Tintagel Castle itself adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. Perched dramatically on rugged cliffs overlooking the sea, it is believed to be Arthurian legend's birthplace - further enhancing the allure surrounding this Dark Age monarch.

The interplay between light and shadow enhances both the king's noble features and his surroundings.
