This portrait print showcases the enigmatic figure of Henri III, King of France from 1574 until his tragic assassination in 1589. Painted by Francois Quesnel (1543-1619) or attributed to him, this oil on panel masterpiece measures 66x52 cm and is housed in the prestigious Louvre Museum in Paris, France. Henri III's regal presence is strikingly captured in this artwork. The king's elaborate hat adorned with feathers and a brooch adds an air of grandeur to his appearance. His goatee and beard further emphasize his authority and maturity as a ruler. A single earring delicately hangs from his ear, adding a touch of elegance to the composition. Interestingly, this particular portrait depicts Henri III during his brief reign as King of Poland (1573-74), before ascending to the French throne. This historical context adds depth and complexity to the image, highlighting Henri's multifaceted persona.
