Les Derniers Valois

The Last Valois
Kings of France

 
King Henri III

Towards the End of King Henri III's Life


These portraits are from 1580, at about 30 years of age. Yet, note how similar these portraits are to those supposedly from around 1578, where he wears his classic black dress.

His features are much older here, though his apparel is nearly unchanged from the famous black dress.

I can only conclude that some of the King's portraits have never been accurately dated.
