Charles I, King of England

Simon de Passe

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a portrait of a person from the chest up, facing slightly to the side in a three-quarter view. The person has a slender face, prominent eyes, and a small mustache. Their hair is styled back and appears short. They are dressed in an elaborate outfit characteristic of the period, featuring a detailed, ruffled lace collar that extends around the neck. The clothing includes a garment that resembles armor or a richly adorned vest, with a sash crossing from shoulder to chest. The portrait is set within an oval frame against a plain background, with no additional objects or visible jewelry. A name, "Crimle Jarisares Grandee," is inscribed at the bottom of the oval frame.
