James I Enthroned is a 1610 ink by Renold Elstrack, a Baroque work, depicting Throne, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a king sitting on a throne in this painting. He's wearing fancy clothes and has a big hat on. The details in the king's clothes and the throne are interesting because they show the artist's attention to detail and the importance of the king's status. The king's pose and facial expression are also worth noting, as they convey a sense of power and authority. This was a common way to depict royalty in art at the time. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique: engraving.
