James I, King of England

Simon de Passe

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man's upper body in an oval frame. The man is facing forward but slightly turned to his right, with a subtle tilt of his head and his eyes looking ahead. His facial features include a prominent nose, sharp eyes, and a neatly trimmed mustache and beard. He wears a wide-brimmed hat with a decorative piece, short tidy hair, and an opulent garment with a high ruffled collar, a detailed fur-lined cloak, and a chain necklace with circular motifs. The background in the oval frame is darkly shaded.
