Edward VI

George Glover or William Faithorne

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a portrait of a young person from the chest up. The individual faces forward with their head slightly turned towards the viewer. They have an oval-shaped face, almond-shaped eyes, and styled hair covered by a dark flat hat with a white feather. The person wears an elaborate garment with a high fur collar and detailed patterns, possibly embroideries, including horizontal bands across the chest. There is no visible jewelry, and the background is plain and light. Below the portrait, there is calligraphic script, likely inscribing a name and title.
