King Henry VII

John Payne

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a historical portrait of an elderly man seated and facing forward. The man has long, gaunt facial features with prominent cheekbones, deep-set eyes, a furrowed brow, and long hair covered by a flat cap with a jewel. He is wearing elaborate robes with a fur-trimmed collar and an intricate necklace, and he holds a scepter in his right hand and an orb in his left hand. In the background, there is a textured pattern. Beside the man, there is a shield and a decorative emblem, each topped by a crown.
