Richard II of England is a 1618 ink by Renold Elstrack, a Baroque work, depicting Charles V, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows Richard II of England. He's dressed in fancy clothes and has a serious look. The artist used a lot of details to draw him, which makes the picture interesting because it was made a long time after Richard II died, so the artist had to imagine what he looked like. The artist, Elstrack, was good at making detailed pictures, and this one is no exception. He paid close attention to the clothes and the face, which helps us learn about Richard II.
