I know that image... it is Henri III in a color cartoon of a tapestry by Antoine Caron, c.1580. The roll shown in the drawing is actually Henri's hair, from what I can tell. It is a black hat matched with his black hair, so maybe that's where the confusion comes in. And he is wearing a ruff, not a falling band/collar. While it may also be from another of the tapestries (I've got a few more images in other books), the angle of the head seems the same, along with the jeweled featherpiece on his hat/cap/whatever. I can scan it and upload it later, if anyone wants. Busy with a gable hood right now to do so.
