About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a young man in fancy clothes. His collar is stiff with ruffles, and he wears a wide-brimmed hat with a chain across it. The background is plain, but the border around him has curly text that reads things like "Grace" and "Illustrious." The text below says he was a prince named Henry, Lord Darnley, and died young. The artist’s name, Jo Hallbrock, is signed at the bottom. Next, check out engraving to see how artists like Hallbrock made detailed prints.
