James I, King of England

Simon de Passe

National Gallery of Art

The image features an engraved portrait of a man shown from the upper body up inside an oval frame. The man is centered, facing forward with his head slightly turned to the right. He has a mustache, goatee, wavy medium-length hair, and serious expression with deep-set eyes. He wears formal attire with a large ruffled collar, fur-trimmed coat, intricate patterns, buttons, ornate brooches or clasps, and a chain of office. The background within the oval is cross-hatched, and there is a decorative crest at the top of the frame. The surrounding space outside the oval is plain and aged with discoloration.
