Engraving, sheet 380 x 220mm (15 x 8¾"). Trimmed; tipped into album sheet.
Charles II (1630-1685), king of England, Scotland and Ireland, 1660 to 1685. Following the execution of his father Charles I, he was forced into exile but returned with the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660 (as alluded to be the vignette below his coat of arms, showing his triumphant return to London). One of many engravings of Charles II after Sir Godfrey Kneller. Following the death of Sir Peter Lely in 1680, Kneller became the undoubted favourite court painter of the king.
