1622
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Henry VII is a 1622 ink by John Payne, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image is a black and white engraving of a man in a fur-trimmed robe and hat, holding a round object. He wears a large necklace with a pendant and has a sword at his side. The background is textured, with a coat of arms and a crown above the man's head. The man's face is serious, and he looks directly at the viewer. His robe is ornate, with intricate details that suggest wealth and status. The round object he holds is not clearly defined, but it may be a symbol of his power or authority. This engraving is characteristic of the Baroque movement, which often featured detailed and realistic depictions of wealthy and powerful individuals.
John Payne (1607–1647) was an English engraver, who was one of the earliest exponents of the art of engraving in England. His best work was the finest produced by a native-born engraver working during the reign of Charles I.
