James I, Anne of Denmark, and Prince Charles is a 1621 ink by Simon van de Passe, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white engraving of three people’s heads in an oval frame. The woman on the left has curly hair and a high collar. The man on the right wears a wide-brimmed hat and a beard. The younger woman in front has loose hair and a soft expression. The artist used fine lines to show textures like fabric and hair. This kind of detailed linework is called cross-hatching. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
