Image size is the following portrait is 4 X 5 inches not including that magnificent text. overall size of print is 11 x 8 inches Engraving by Pedretti KING HENRY II of FRANCE Of course he died while playing in the football game back then. He had 10 kids with Catherine de Medicis. Rather busy guy, not to mention time with Diane.Despite wielding such power over the court, Diane's status depended on the King's welfare and remaining in power. In 1559, Henry was critically wounded in a jousting tournament, when his lance wore her favour (ribbon), rather than his wife's. Queen Catherine soon assumed control, restricting access to the royal chambers. Although Henry was alleged to have called out repeatedly for Diane, she wasn't admitted to his deathbed nor invited to his funeral (the latter as was custom and tradition). She was immediately obliged to give Chenonceau in exchange for the less attractive Château de Chaumont, a punishment much less severe than the ones suffered by other royal mistresses. A great steel engraving. But you shall not receive a piece of steel. Last picture is of the painting from which the engraving was based. Very loyal water colored rendering.
