Kinda surprised we don't have a pic for this trope yet, given how common an archetype the wise king really is (that, or The Caligula gets all the attention). It's the ideal that most monarchs at least were supposed to strive for, so it's really common in art as well.

I like Solomon and maybe Yaroslavl.

The statue doesn't benefit from the angle, which makes his expression look unkind.

I like 1.1 (Yaroslav) and 1.2 (Solomon).

Tally so far. Since some people voted on more than one, I've counted each such vote individually.

  • 1.1: 4 votes.
  • 1.2: 7 votes.
  • 1.3: 0 votes.
  • 1.4: 1 vote, 1 against.

So, looks like it's going to be Solomon. Since this thread has been up for about two weeks, I think we can go ahead and call this without a crowner.

[tdown] on 1.1, just looks like a generic cosplayer to me.

I agree that given the circumstances going with Solomon is the prudent move; make it so.

Alright, I've uploaded the pic and tagged the page for this thread.

Caption ideas?

No consensus on a caption; locking up.
