James III, King of Scotland is a 1603 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in fancy clothes. He wears a dark robe with a chain around his neck and a small pendant. His hat has a feather sticking up. The background is a plain oval shape with decorative patterns around the edges. The text below says his name is Jacobus III and it’s dated 1460, but the print was made much later. The words are in Latin and sound sad, like a poem about his life. If you like this style, check out engraving.
