His Majesty.

A painting from the Hermitage in St. Petersburg. The title is Landscape with Polyphemus. Author Nicolas Poussin. 1649.

Note the mountain in the distance and immediately remember the enormous height of the ceilings and doors, by the example of those that I have shown earlier in other posts and will show in the future. Perhaps this is where the phrases "your majesty" and "your highness" came from?
