EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking head and shoulders portrait of Charles II (1630-1685), the monarch who restored the English monarchy after the Civil War and Interregnum, was likely created between the years 1660 and 1685. The painting, attributed to the renowned Dutch artist Sir Peter Lely's studio, under the direction of Wissing, showcases the king in three-quarter profile, turning his head slightly to his right. Charles II's regal bearing is evident in his confident posture, with his left hand resting on a red velvet cushion, while his right hand is clenched into a fist, resting on his thigh. The king's long, curly hair frames his face, and his piercing gaze is fixed on an unseen horizon, reflecting his strong and determined leadership. The rich tapestry background adds to the opulence of the image, emphasizing the grandeur and majesty of the monarch. Charles II's reign was marked by religious tolerance, economic prosperity, and the restoration of the English court, making this portrait a significant representation of the English monarchy during this period.
