Portret van keizer Hendrik VI (1165 - 1197) in profiel naar rechts. Hendrik VI was de zoon van Frederik I Barbarossa uit het Huis Hohenstaufen. Hij werd op driejarige leeftijd gekroond tot koning van Duitsland. In 1191 besteeg hij de troon van het Heilige Roomse Rijk. Hendrik VI was ook koning van Sicilië door zijn huwelijk met Constanza. De gravure is een boekillustratie uit de publicatie "Romanorum Imperatorum effigies [...]" (1583/1592) met 157 portretten van keizers gegraveerd door Giovanni Battista de' Cavalieri en bijhorende lofteksten geschreven door Thomasz Treter. De tekst op de verso zijde verwijst naar het volgende portret.
De prent maakt deel uit van een album met (losse) portretten uit de 16de en 17de eeuw (2014.GRO0019.III).

Thank you for your interest in visiting the Sint-Janshuismolen. We would like to inform you about the limited capacity of the mill.
The Sint-Janshuismolen is not very large, and for safety reasons, we can only accommodate a maximum of 25 students per half hour. To ensure that all students can explore the mill, we will divide the class into two or three groups on-site.
A part of the group will have the opportunity to view the mill from the outside, while the other part can actually enter the mill. After a certain time, the groups will switch so that everyone has a chance to see and experience everything.
We want to ensure that all students have a valuable and educational experience during their visit to the Sint-Janshuismolen. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in following this arrangement.
Attention: you might be paying too much
