King Henry IV is a 1850 by Unknown, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows King Henry IV standing in armor with a bold, black hat. His hand rests on his hip while his gaze locks straight at you. The artist used simple lines to make him look strong and confident. You rarely see prints of this king outside France. Most images come from paintings. This one was made in London, not Paris. It looks stiff compared to French royal portraits. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more old prints like this.
A print titled *King Henry IV*, produced by The London Printing and Publishing Company in the late 19th century, depicts the historical monarch. The work is a printed reproduction rather than an original painting or drawing.
