Charles I, King of England is a 1650 ink by Jonas Suyderhoff, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious face and a full beard. He wears a ruffled collar and a chain around his neck. The background is filled with intricate swirls, leaves, and flowers framing his head like a crown. The name at the bottom reads "Carolus, Magna Britannia..." which hints at a royal title. The detailed border looks like it was carved or scratched into the surface. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists create prints like this.
