This etching by Wenceslaus Hollar, titled "Edward VI", depicts the young King Edward VI of England. Created in 1650, the portrait showcases Edward in a formal pose, wearing a richly detailed gown and a plumed cap. The engraving's meticulous detail and realistic representation of the young king were characteristic of Hollar's style. This work, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, exemplifies the artist's skill in portraiture and historical representation.
