James I, King of England

Style of Simon de Passe

National Gallery of Art

This image is a circular portrait of a man. The man is facing forward and is positioned directly towards the viewer. He has a composed expression, with a short beard and mustache. His hair appears to be neatly styled under a wide-brimmed hat adorned with a jewel or badge. The man is dressed in ornate clothing featuring an elaborate ruffled collar typical of the period, along with a jacket embellished with buttons and intricate patterns. Around him is a circular border with text. The background inside the circle is plain, while the outer border contains decorative elements. The surrounding area outside the circular illustration is a simple, neutral space, without any additional design or imagery.
