This colored engraving, "Henry IV, King of France and Navarre", created by Jean Francois Janinet, showcases a detailed portrait of the King in profile, with his signature white beard and weathered features. The artist captures the King's regal presence through the subtle use of light and shadow, giving the portrait a sense of depth and realism. This artwork is an example of a popular 18th-century portrait style in France, featuring a simple background and a strong focus on the subject. It is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago and serves as a historical documentation of the iconic monarch.
