Charles I, King of England, On Horseback is a 1621 ink by Simon van de Passe, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving depicts a man on horseback, dressed in elaborate attire, including a hat adorned with feathers and a cloak. He holds a sword in his right hand, while his left hand grasps the reins of the horse. The horse is rearing up on its hind legs, with its front legs raised in the air. The man's clothing and the horse's saddle are intricately detailed, showcasing the artist's skill in engraving. The background of the image is not visible, as the engraving is circular and only shows the man and the horse. This engraving is a fine example of Renaissance art, and its technique of cross-hatching is reminiscent of the work of Passe, Simon van de.
