Bust of James V, King of Scotland (1512-1542), on tomb with 4 lines of verse in French. He was one year old when his father died and he was crowned King of Scotland. James V became a legendary person by pretending to be a common man and mingling with his subjects because he wanted to see what their life was like. Copper engraving by Pieter van Gunst (c. 1659 - 1731), after the painting by Adriaen van der Werff (1659-1722). Signed in print. Manufactured around 1700. Source: Rijksmuseum, 2014.
