James I

Unknown Artist

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man facing slightly to his left. He has a neat mustache and beard, styled hair with loose curls, and wears an elaborate outfit with a high ruffled collar and fur-trimmed mantle. The outfit includes a chain with floral designs and a large medallion. The background has a textured pattern, and a Latin inscription at the bottom identifies the subject as a ruler of Britain, France, Scotland, and Ireland.
