James I as James VI of Scotland

About this work

This is a black-and-white engraving of a man with a big, pointed hat and a thick beard. He’s wearing a fur collar and holds a small object in his left hand. The lines in the print create shadows and texture, making his face and clothes look detailed. The text below says he’s a king of England, Scotland, and Ireland. The number "XXXVII" at the top might mean this is the 37th print in a series. If you like this style, look up engraving to see how artists used lines to make depth.
