Busteportret van Karel I, koning van Engeland 1628 - 1670

This engraving by Pieter de Jode II, dated 1628-1670, depicts King Charles I of England in a bust-length portrait. The work captures Charles in a moment of regal composure, wearing armor and a chain with a pendant. The engraving, which is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases the artist's mastery of detail and the power of printmaking to capture likeness and grandeur. The work is considered a prime example of 17th-century portraiture.
