The Mauritshuis is a museum in the Netherlands featuring various works from famous Dutch and Flemish painters in their permanent collection, one of which being the Girl With A Pearl Earring from Johannes Vermeer.
The museum will be closing temporarily for renovations in August and September 2026 during which this painting will be loaned to the Nakanoshima Museum of Art in Osaka for an exclusive exhibit.
It's a rare event featuring many collaborations and sponsors, including Sousou No Frieren, where prints of this image of Frieren will be available for purchase.

edit: Also, is it confirmed that the title of the Umamusume series is 「皇帝はかく語りき」, or is that a colloquial term for it from jp users?

It's the title for their Rudolf-centric paperback releases.

Like Thus Spoke Comrade Verniy, Thus Spoke Comrade Tashkent releases for Kancolle focusing on their respective characters. These contain a bunch of collated pages from the untitled Kancolle web manga, plus a few bonus pages or sometimes entire new storylines.

Of course the problem is that Ido's Umamusume web manga is still pretty much all Rudolf-centric anyway, so the current volumes of Thus Spoke the Emperor/Also Sprach Symboli Rudolf contain effectively all the web comic pages up to a certain point (with the rare ones not involving Rudolf or her clique being side stories). Maybe if there's enough material for a Teio-centric one he might release a Thus Spoke the Little Emperor/Also Sprach Tokai Teio book. Or Thus Spoke the Noblelady/Così parlò Gentildonna for our resident gorilla.
