EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning portrait of Charles II, dating back to approximately 1675. Created by the talented artist Peter Lely, this masterpiece was crafted using coloured chalks on paper, resulting in a vibrant and lifelike depiction of the monarch. King Charles II, known as "the merry monarch" is elegantly portrayed in this half-length portrait. His regal presence is enhanced by his meticulously styled wig and distinguished moustache. The intricate lace collar adorning his attire adds a touch of sophistication to the composition. Measuring 24.8x19.7 cm, this artwork can be found at the Yale Center for British Art as part of the esteemed Paul Mellon Collection in the United States. Although attributed to Edward Luttrell, an accomplished artist from that era, it remains an exquisite representation of King Charles II's reign. The image captures not only the physical features but also reflects upon Charles II's role as a ruler during the Stuart period in English history. It serves as a testament to his authority and royal lineage. As we delve into this remarkable piece through our Fine Art Finder lens, we are transported back in time to witness the grandeur and majesty associated with monarchy during that era.
