National Gallery of Art

The image shows an engraving of a man seated on a throne. The man faces forward with his body slightly turned to the right. He has a pointed beard and mustache, neat hair, and wears a crown. He is draped in ornate robes with a high lace ruff collar and wide sleeves. He wears a chain with a medallion and holds a scepter in his right hand while his left hand rests on an orb. The throne has ornate lion heads on the armrests. The background features tapestries, framed walls, and a canopy. An inscription below the throne adds to the scene.
