James II as Duke of York is a 1850 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white engraving shows a man in fancy 17th-century clothes. He’s wearing a long coat with big sleeves, a high collar, and a sash across his chest. His curly wig is tall, and he holds a folded paper in one hand. Behind him is a shield with a coat of arms and a helmet topped with feathers. The text below says he’s a duke and a brother to a king. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and details, making the fabric look textured. Want to see how artists like this used engraving to add depth?
