James I is a 1850 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a serious man in a fur-lined robe. His beard is thick, and he wears a chain around his neck. The background is plain, but the border has fancy text in a loop. The text around him looks like Latin, and the fur collar suggests he’s someone important. The print was made using small lines to create shading. Check out how this was done with engraving.
