King Richard I is a 1733 ink by James Smith, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a serious-looking man in a crown and fancy robes. His face is framed by a decorative oval border with swirls and a crest at the bottom. Below, a smaller scene depicts ships and people on a shore. The name "K. RICHARD. I." is written under the portrait, hinting at a royal figure. The artist’s signature reads "Jas. Smith Sculp." in the corner. Look up etching to see how this detailed print was made.
