The image shows a portrait of a man in profile facing left. He has a stern expression, high forehead, straight nose, and short, neatly combed hair. The man wears a crown with intricate details, a heavily embroidered garment with a fur collar, and a chain around his neck. He holds a scepter in one hand and a small orb in the other. The background features an oval frame with text identifying him as "HENRICVS V. ANGLIAE ET FRANCIAE REX DOMINUS HIBERNIAE." Intricate scrollwork, a heraldic shield, and a written panel with historical information are also present. The paper shows signs of aging.
