James I, King of England and Charles, Prince of Wales

Willem de Passe

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two individuals, one seated and the other standing. The seated figure is a mature man wearing a crown, a cloak with a fur collar, and holding a scepter in his right hand. His left hand rests on a skull in his lap. The standing figure is a younger male with short, slicked-back hair, wearing ornate clothing with an elaborate collar. In his left hand, he holds a skull on a small table beside him. Both figures are dressed in richly decorated attire with intricate patterns and textures. They are set against a detailed backdrop with drapery and a script beneath them.
