Louis XIII, King of France

About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a mustache. He’s wearing a fancy collar and a dark, textured jacket with buttons down the front. The background is plain, but there’s a circle around his face, and two symbols—one with a crown and one with leaves—sit on either side of his head. The text below says he’s a king of France, which matches the crown symbol. The artist signed it in the corner, and the paper looks old and slightly textured. Next, check out how this was made using engraving.
