Charles I in an Octagonal Border

François Chauveau

National Gallery of Art

The image is an engraved portrait showing a man's upper body. He is facing slightly to the right, with his head turned towards the viewer. He has facial hair, shoulder-length hair, and is dressed in ornate armor with a lace collar. An embroidered garment and a lace cuff are also visible. He is holding a baton or scepter in his right hand. A detailed border frames the portrait, and below it is an oval heraldic design with a crown, a lion, and a dragon. The background has intricate cross-hatching.
