Self Portrait as Henry V of England


I've been wanting to paint a medieval style painting for a while, so here I am in a self portrait as Henry V, the Lancastrian King of England, Lord of Ireland, claimant to the throne of France, victor of the Battle of Agincourt. The head, hands and crown are my own (I don't really have a copy of St. Edward's crown, I just painted it from descriptions), the royal garb and pose I took from the anonymous portrait of Henry, likely painted in the early fifteenth century that is in the National Portrait Gallery in London.

Besides slightly resembling Henry V, I like the Shakespeare play , the Kenneth Branagh film version, and I like how this painting is very medieval in style with the posing of the hands and the face in profile.
