Henry VII is a 1618 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious expression. He wears a wide collar, a dark hat with a feather, and a chain around his neck. The background is plain, but the edges of the image have text in a fancy script. The words around his head say things like "King of England" and "Duke of Ireland," hinting this is a royal portrait. The artist used fine lines to create shading, giving it a textured look. Next, look up engraving to see how this technique works.
