"Henri IV 1553-1610 curing the sufferers of scrofula" is an engraving by Pierre Firens, a French artist active during the early 17th century. The artwork depicts a historical practice known as the "royal touch," wherein it was believed that the kings of France and England had the God-given power to cure scrofula, a form of tuberculosis affecting the lymph nodes, through their touch. This engraving captures a moment where King Henry IV of France is shown performing this ritual, surrounded by his courtiers and the afflicted, emphasizing the divine right and benevolence attributed to the monarchy.

The scene is rich in detail and symbolism, reflecting the political and religious beliefs of the time. The act of healing serves as a visual representation of the king's closeness to God and his role as a mediator between the divine and his subjects. Pierre Firens' work not only provides an artistic account of a historical event but also offers insight into the cultural and social practices of the French Renaissance. The engraving is a valuable piece for understanding the period's art, as well as the intersection of monarchy, medicine, and religion in early modern Europe.
