James I of England

About this work

This is a black-and-white engraving of a man with a thick beard and a wide-brimmed hat. His collar is lace-edged, and he wears a chain with a medal around his neck. The background is a simple oval shape with a text label below. The text says "IACOBUS DEI GRATIA," which is Latin for "James by the Grace of God." This was a common way to name kings in old portraits. Look up engraving to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
