Superb copperplate portrait depicting Charles I of England (1600-1649), the iconic sovereign of the Stuart dynasty.
This 17th-century painting captures the king’s full bearing, dressed in a moiré velvet cape and a high serrated collar, symbols of the aristocratic elegance of his time.
His haughty bearing is enhanced by a sumptuous jewel adorned with an equestrian figure, a detail of great finesse that underlines his royal status and his passion for horse riding. The meticulous treatment of the copper gives the work remarkable brilliance and depth.
The whole is presented in a later Regency-style gilded wooden frame, which perfectly highlights this exceptional portrait.
