Charles I, King of England is a 1616 ink by Simon van de Passe, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This portrait shows a man with a serious expression, looking slightly to his right. He has short hair and wears a lace collar and ornate clothing. The man's face is rendered in fine detail, with cross-hatching used to create shading and texture. The background is simple, with a subtle gradient that helps the subject stand out. The artist's use of engraving and cross-hatching techniques creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the portrait.
