Edward V of England is a 1598 ink by Renold Elstrack, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a young man with curly hair, dressed in a fancy robe and crown. His face is serious, and he holds a small object in his left hand. The background is plain, but the edges of the print are decorated with swirly designs and words like "EDWARDVS" and "DOMINVS HYBERNIAE." The tiny text below says this is Edward V, a king who died young. The artist used careful lines to create shadows and texture, making the robe look detailed. Want to see more?
