James V, King of Scotland

Unknown Artist

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a person from the chest up, facing forward. The individual has a pointed beard and mustache, expressive eyes, and a composed expression. They wear an ornate hat with feather-like details and a jewel-decorated band. They don regal or ceremonial clothing with elaborate patterns and decorations, including a chain across the chest and circular emblem patches on the sleeves. The background features an oval frame on a plain surface with line shading. The text at the bottom identifies the person as "James V King of Scots" and the date "Ano 1514."
