Charles I, King of England as Duke of York

Simon de Passe

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a person depicted from the waist up. The person is facing forward with a slight turn to their left side. They have a youthful appearance with smooth facial features, including closely aligned eyes, a small nose, and a closed mouth. Their hair is short and neatly combed back away from their forehead. The individual is wearing elaborate attire that includes a richly adorned garment with a high, intricate lace collar and a sash. There is also a pendant hanging from a chain around their neck. In the background, the portrait is enclosed in an ornate circular design with text surrounding it, and the inside of the circle features a finely textured pattern.
