Portraits of Henry IV of Saxony and Catherine of Mecklenburg

The Portrait of Henry IV of Saxony and Catherine of Mecklenburg are a matching pair of full-length portrait paintings by the German Renaissance master Lucas Cranach the Elder, dating from 1514, now in the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister, Dresden, Germany.

The work was Cranach's first official portrait,[1] and depicts Henry IV, Duke of Saxony and his wife Catherine of Mecklenburg at about life-size.

They are among the earliest northern full-length portraits.

Henry, painted with his hunting dog, is portrayed in the act of drawing his sword.

Catherine's panel contains a cartouche with Cranach's initials, the year of execution and a winged snake, the symbol of the painter's workshop.
