King John of England

Renold Elstrack

National Gallery of Art

The engraving shows a man from the waist up facing forward. He holds a scepter in his right hand and a globus cruciger in his left. He has a beard, mustache, shoulder-length wavy hair, and wears a crown, ornate robe, and fur trimming. The design includes heraldic shields and an oval frame with inscriptions labeling him as King John of England. The background is a detailed yet neutral space.
