Henry IV

Jean Morin after Louis Elle I

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a person facing slightly right, with a calm expression. He has a full face with deeply set eyes, a prominent nose, and a small mustache and beard. His hair is wavy and combed back. He wears an elaborate robe with intricate patterns, a high collar, and a sash across his chest. The robe appears to have armor underneath, textured to indicate its rigidity and shine. The background is dark, and the portrait is framed in an octagon. There is a name or inscription in elegant script at the bottom.
