Charles I of England (1600-1649) as Prince of Wales
1624
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
This black-and-white painting shows a man in a lavish outfit, standing in front of a window and a table with a cloth draped over it. He's wearing a large ruffled collar, a dark jacket with puffy shoulders, and matching knee-length pants. His shoes have bows on them. The man is holding a white handkerchief in his right hand, and his left hand is at his side. The background is a simple room with a window and a table. The overall mood of the painting is formal and dignified. If you like this style, you might want to check out more works from the Baroque movement.
