Richard III of England is a 1618 ink by Renold Elstrack, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image shows a portrait of Richard III of England, depicted in a circular frame with an ornate border. He is shown wearing a crown and a fur-trimmed cloak, holding a scepter in his right hand. The background is dark, with a subtle texture that suggests a sense of depth. The engraving technique used to create the portrait is evident in the fine lines and cross-hatching that give the image its detailed texture. The overall effect is one of somber dignity, fitting for a portrait of a king. If you're interested in learning more about the artistic style of this portrait, you might want to explore the Baroque movement, which was known for its dramatic lighting and intense emotions.
