Portrait of Jakub Ludwik Sobieski with his father, c. 1680s by Jan Tricius

The Armenian monastery of Suceava was a base of operations in Jan III Sobieski's failed efforts to secure the Moldavian throne for his son Jakub.

This painting was commissioned by Jakub Sobieski in 1697. It depicts his deceased father pointing to a book entitled Hac Lege lego and accompanied by Jakub and his wife, suggesting that Jakub ought to be the next King of Poland.
