Louis XIII of France is a 1850 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white engraving shows a serious-looking man in a fancy collar and crown. His hair is curly, and he wears a chain with a pendant. The border around him has Latin words like "King of France" and "Prince Louis." The print looks old and detailed, with lots of tiny lines to create shadows. It’s signed by someone named Compton Holland at the bottom. Want to see how this kind of print was made? Look up engraving.
