Engraving, sheet 375 x 280mm (14¾ x 11"). Tipped into album sheet.
Charles II (1630 - 1685), king of England, Scotland and Ireland. The son of Charles I, Charles campaigned with his father until sent abroad for safety in 1646 as the Royalist cause fell into decline. After the execution of his father, Charles unsuccessfully invaded England in 1651: after the rout of Royalist forces at the Battle of Worcester he escaped (initially hiding in a nearby oak tree), eventually fleeing to the continent. The death of Cromwell in 1658 paved the way for the restoration of the monarchy, which saw Charles return as king in 1660. Fine engraving after a portrait by Sir Peter Lely (1618 - 1680), portrait painter whose work provides a record of the court of Charles II as potent and evocative of that which van Dyck left of his father's court.
