Henry IV, King of France

Robert Graves after Hendrick Goltzius

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man with a composed expression, elaborate hairstyle, short beard, and mustache. He wears ornate noble attire, including a high-collared ruff, richly decorated clothing, and a fur-lined cloak or robe. He also wears a chain of office with medallions and a large pendant. The background features a textured surface that does not distract from the man.
