James I of England is a 1616 ink by Simon van de Passe, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white engraving of a man dressed like a king. He wears a heavy fur-lined robe, a crown, and a sash with a cross. In his left hand, he holds a globe, and in his right, a scepter topped with a cross. His beard is long, and his face looks serious. The background shows a throne with a patterned curtain. The text below the image is in old-fashioned English, talking about power and knowledge. The artist’s name, Simon Passe, is written at the bottom. Want to know more? Look up engraving.
