Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley

Renold Elstrack

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a portrait of an individual from the waist up, seated in a dignified posture and looking directly at the viewer with a composed expression. The person has detailed facial features, including eyes, a nose, and lips, along with short, styled hair. They wear an elaborate hat with a feather, a richly decorated garment with patterns and embellishments, a fur collar, a chain necklace with a pendant, and hold a fan in their right hand. Their left hand is resting against the clothing. The individual is framed by circles with text and scrolls, with a textured background and heraldic symbols on the sides.
