King Henry V

About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man wearing a crown and fancy robes. He holds a globe in one hand and a scepter in the other. The background is filled with decorative text spelling out his name and titles, like "HENRICVS FIDELIS" and "DOMINVS HIBERNIE." The artist used tiny lines to create shadows and details, giving it a textured look. This style is called engraving. Next, look up technique: engraving to see how artists like this made prints.
