Henry III of France is a 1590 ink by Thomas de Leu, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting is a portrait of a man with dark hair styled in a bun. He wears a dark jacket with a white collar and a row of round buttons down the front. The background is a solid color. The man's hair is adorned with a small decorative item, and he has a mustache and a serious expression. His clothing is formal, suggesting he may be a member of the nobility or a high-ranking official. The level of detail in the painting, particularly in the subject's clothing and hairstyle, suggests a high level of skill on the part of the artist. To learn more about the techniques used in this painting, look up the technique of cross-hatching.
Thomas de Leu or Leeuw or Le Leup or Deleu (1560–1612) was a French engraver, publisher, and print dealer of Flemish origin.
