Image of the portrait painting "Friedrich Wilhelm (1620-88), Elector of Brandenburg, and his wife Louise Henriette (1627-67), Countess of Orange-Nassau" by Gerard van Honthorst

It shows a well-dressed noble couple of rhe early 1600s-- he in a regal red cloak and she in a golden dress, both with comically wide collars-- standing in front of a naturalesque backdrop. Above them in the sky, a small group of cherub angels float happily and carefree, holding a felted crown to match his robes, as if to annoint him with it.

Text inserted next to the Countess reads, "I told you to NOT give the children helium, Edward!"
