Painted by Lucas the Younger Cranach in the mid-16th century, this oil on copper masterpiece exudes an air of majesty and power. The king's bearded countenance is captured with remarkable detail, emphasizing his authority and wisdom. Measuring at 19.7x17.8 cm, this artwork can now be found in the Czartoryski Museum in Cracow, Poland. Its historical significance cannot be overstated as it immortalizes Zygmunt II August, also known as Sigismund II Augustus, who reigned during a crucial period for both Poland and Lithuania.
