Charles I and Henrietta Maria Facing to the Left [right half] is a 1650 ink by Dutch 17th Century, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows the right half of a royal couple facing left. The man and woman are dressed in 17th-century royal attire. The engraving details their clothing and facial expressions. The engraving technique used here is impressive, with intricate details that bring out the textures of their clothes. The cross-hatching creates depth and dimension, making the image feel more lifelike. If you're interested in more works from this period, check out the Baroque movement.
