Richard III of England

Renold Elstrack

National Gallery of Art

The image is an engraving depicting a bust of a man labeled as "Richard III." He is positioned facing slightly right, looking ahead with a serious expression. His facial features include deep-set eyes, a pronounced nose, and slightly parted lips, with medium-length wavy hair under a cap adorned with a star emblem. He is dressed in elaborate clothing with a fur collar, a jeweled chain across his chest, holding a staff in his right hand, and supporting a spherical object topped with a cross in his left hand. The background is ornate with decorative scrollwork and crests, and text below the image provides historical context.
