Edward VI

Michel Corneille

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an upper-body portrait of a young man looking directly at the viewer with a composed expression. He has short, light hair and wears a hat with a decorative feather. He has delicate facial features, a confident gaze, and is dressed in a richly detailed outfit with a fur-collared cloak and an embroidered garment beneath. He holds a scepter in his right hand. The portrait is framed by an ornate oval border with text and a coat of arms at the top left corner. The background features intricate engravings and text below the portrait provides details about the person depicted.
