King Richard III

Pieter van der Banck after Edward Lutterell

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a person identified as King Richard III. He is facing forward with his head slightly turned to the side. The king has long, wavy hair and a serious expression with prominent features such as a long nose and a firm, slightly downturned mouth. He is wearing a garment with a fur collar and a chain of office across his chest. A crown is on his head, and the portrait is set within an elaborate decorative frame featuring floral and geometric patterns. A coat of arms is displayed beneath the portrait, topped with a smaller royal crown. The background has intricate etching patterns.
