About this work

This is a black-and-white print of a man dressed like a medieval noble. He wears a crown, a fancy robe with gold patterns, and a sword at his side. His beard is long, and he holds a scroll in one hand. The background is plain, but the edges of the frame have fancy scrollwork with Latin words. The print looks like an old copy of something made long ago. The words around the frame call him "Duke of Lancaster," but we don’t know if this is accurate. Next, check out the National Gallery of Art, Washington to see more prints like this.
