Emperor Charles V

About this work

This is a close-up portrait of a man in fancy clothes. He wears a dark hat with a jewel on it and a high collar with a chain. His hair is light and curly, and the background has green leafy patterns. The text below his head is in Latin and lists his titles, like "King of Spain" and "Duke of Burgundy." The colors are added by hand in bright greens, reds, and yellows. Look up etching to see how this kind of print was made.
