About this work

This print shows Charles V, a powerful 16th-century ruler. It's part of the H Beard Print Collection and was made in 1750, long after his reign. The print sits in London’s Victoria and Albert Museum. The Knapton brothers printed it in London, though the original portrait could be much older. It’s a Romantic-era take on a historic figure. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
