Henry I of England is a 1618 ink by Renold Elstrack, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white engraving of a bearded king wearing a crown and robes. He holds a globe and a scepter, sitting in a throne-like chair. Around him are fancy letters and symbols, like a shield with a lion and the words "Dux Normannia" and "Rex Angliae." The text below says this is Henry I, king of England, and gives his life dates. The artist signed it as R. Elstrack, and it was made in 1618. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this carved detailed images into metal.
