Don Carlos, Prince of Asturias

Frans Huys

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man in full body. He is standing with one hand on his side and the other on a table beside him. His facial features are sharp and defined with a slight frown, and he has very short hair. The man is wearing a detailed suit of armor, covering his torso and extending to his thighs, along with stockings and shoes. There is drapery in the background flowing from the upper left corner, and a coat of arms in the upper right. A table next to him is covered with a cloth and holds a plumed helmet matching the armor's style. The image is bordered with an ornate pattern.
