Charles I

Unknown Artist

National Gallery of Art

This image depicts a detailed engraving of a man from the chest up. The man is facing slightly to the right in a three-quarter profile position. He has long, wavy hair that falls past his shoulders and a pointed beard and mustache. His facial features include a long, narrow face with a prominent nose and contemplative eyes. He is wearing a garment with a high lace collar decorated with intricate patterns. Around him is an ornamental oval frame with flowing ribbons and leaves, and at the top, the words "CHARLES THE I." are inscribed in the frame. The background consists of closely spaced lines, adding texture to the engraving.
