Henry VII of England is a 1618 ink by Renold Elstrack, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in fancy clothes. He’s wearing a dark hat, a fur-lined robe, and a chain around his neck. His hands rest on a small table with a few objects—maybe a book or a jewel. The border around him has words like "PRUDENTIA" and "HENRICVS VII" written in curls. The text below calls him "King of England," and the coat of arms shows a shield with lions and a crown. This isn’t a painting—it’s carved into metal, a technique that lets artists add lots of detail with lines. Look up engraving to see how artists like this made sharp, precise prints.
