Equestrian Portrait of the Emperor Maximilian, 1508. Creator: Hans Burgkmair (German, 1473-1531)
Equestrian Portrait of the Emperor Maximilian, 1508. Presented in full profile, the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I (reigned 1486-1519) and his mount emulate a classical equestrian portrait statue.

Of the two surviving impressions printed on hand-coloured paper, this is the only one that is blue
