Mena: I found this picture of a possible Black European King before Habsburg and Malibudusul.
Unknown student of the Seminary of Painters The Western Kings on Horseback / 泰西王侯騎馬図屏風: King of Abyssinia Japan (1600s) Suntory Museum of Art, Tokyo [Source]
Another incredible Japanese Christian painting from the Jesuit Seminary of Painters. It’s part of a series!
The Suntory Museum of Art says:
The Western Kings on Horseback screens are renowned as masterpieces of Namban art and early Western-style painting from Japan’s Momoyama period. These screens, split today between the collections of the Kobe City Museum and the Suntory Museum of Art, are said to have originally been wall paintings in Aizu-Wakamatsu Castle. It is posited that they were painted by Japanese painters who studied Western painting methods along with Christianity at the Jesuit seminary in Japan, and that they were painted for the Jesuit priests.

Why does being Abyssinian exclude being a black complexioned African? Why do you talk such rubbish? Lioness your racism is unclean, depraved and ugly.

Lioness thanks for posting the full picture of the Western or Abyssinian black King meeting with an Arab or Turkish Sultan. The painting looks like an imaginary crusade scene were a Black European King is meeting a Turkish Sultan.
The Black King have a European crown and is wearing European clothing. The Black King could be an European or Abyssinian King.
