This portrait of the later
Henry III of France was long mistaken for a portrait of his younger brother
Francis of Alençon, due to a false inscription at the bottom of the portrait. (Not shown here.) The preparatory sketch that formed the basis of this work, preserved in the
National Library of France, shows clearly that this is Henry III.
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional,
