Charles I, King of England

Simon de Passe

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a person from the upper half of their body. The individual is facing forward with a slight head turn, giving a three-quarter view of the face. They have wavy hair styled neatly, reaching just above the collar. Facial features include a pronounced nose, arched eyebrows, and closed lips. The person is dressed in an outfit with an ornate lace ruff around the neck, and a decorated garment with intricate patterns. A medallion hangs from a chain around their neck. The portrait is framed in an oval frame with a text border inside. The background within the frame is filled with hatch-lined shading.
