This image depicts a waist-up view of a crowned man, identified as King Henry III of England. He is seated and faces forward, holding a scepter in his right hand and an orb in his left. The man has a full beard and mustache, with shoulder-length wavy hair peeking out from beneath a richly adorned crown. His clothing is ornately designed with decorative patterns and a heavily jeweled collar. The background is an intricately detailed oval frame with heraldic symbols on either side, containing Latin inscriptions that surround the figure. Below the oval is a panel with text providing a brief biography of the king.
