Henry, Duc de Moutpensier is a 1590 ink by Thomas de Leu, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is an engraving of a man's head and shoulders, facing forward. He has short, wavy hair and a ruffled collar. He is wearing a fancy outfit with a large, decorative collar and a cross-shaped necklace. The engraving is done in black and white, with lots of fine lines and details. The man's face is serious, and he looks like he's looking straight at you. The background of the engraving is plain, which makes the man stand out even more. The engraving is very detailed, with lots of texture and pattern in the man's clothes and hair. If you like this kind of art, you might want to check out more Renaissance engravings.
