Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley

Renold Elstrack

National Gallery of Art

The engraving shows a bust-length portrait of a man identified as the Prince of Albany, Henry Lord Darnley. He faces slightly to his left, with a smooth complexion, prominent eyes, a small mouth, short wavy hair, and an elaborately adorned hat with a large plume. He wears an opulent garment with fleur-de-lis patterns and fur trimmings, a lace collar, and ornate jewelry. The portrait is framed by a divider with heraldic symbols like a unicorn and a shield with crowns and floral motifs. The background has a textured pattern, and the bottom includes a dedication and decorative elements.
