King Edward IV is a 1598 ink by Renold Elstrack, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving depicts a man with short, wavy hair, wearing a crown and a fur-trimmed robe. He holds a scepter in his right hand and an orb in his left. The background is dark, with a subtle texture that suggests the use of cross-hatching. The man's facial expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. The level of detail in the engraving is impressive, with intricate lines and shading that give the image depth and dimension. The National Gallery of Art, Washington, holds this engraving.
