This black-and-white print shows a young man in fancy clothes. He’s wearing a fur-lined coat with a high collar, a chain around his neck, and a hat with a feather. His hands are clasped in front of him, and he’s looking straight ahead with a serious face. The picture is framed by a border of tiny lines, making it look like it was carved into metal. Below the image, there’s a short Latin phrase and the name *Edwardus Sextus Rex*, which means "Edward the Sixth, King." This kind of picture was made using engraving.
