Henry VIII
Baroque Baroque Portrait

About this work

This black-and-white engraving shows a serious-looking man in fancy clothes. He wears a tall hat with jewels, a heavy chain of office, and a cloak draped over his shoulders. His right hand grips a staff, and his left rests on a decorated belt. The background is plain, focusing all attention on his face and symbols of power. The text below his image is in Latin, calling him "King of England, France, and Ireland." His stern expression and detailed armor suggest someone important. Want to learn more?
