King Henry IV of England is a 1598 ink by Renold Elstrack, a Renaissance work, depicting Charles V, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows King Henry IV of England. He's dressed in fancy clothes and has a serious face. The details in his clothes and face are interesting because they were made using a special process that involved scratching lines into a metal plate. The artist had to be very careful when making these lines. The lines had to be just right to create the image. You can learn more about this kind of art by looking into the technique: engraving.
