National Gallery of Art

The image displays an upper body portrait of a man in an oval frame. He faces forward, looking slightly to his right. The man has a long face with defined features, a moustache, and medium-length curly hair. He is adorned with a crown featuring fleur-de-lis shapes, a robe with a fur-like pattern, and a high-collared garment. The background of the oval frame has a textured pattern, and the portrait is surrounded by decorative scrollwork. Below the portrait is a plaque inscribed with “K. HENRY II” and a scene of soldiers and horses in battle, encompassed by architectural elements.
