Eric XIV, King of Sweden

Frans Huys

National Gallery of Art

The image is an engraving of a man from the waist up. He is positioned slightly to the side, with his gaze directed to the right. The man has a long, full beard and short, slightly wavy hair. He is wearing a suit of armor with decorative patterns and bands, and a chain around his neck. One of his arms is bent at the elbow. The background is a simple oval frame with inscriptions along the edge, and the illustration is in a monochrome style.
