Scarce mezzotint with contemporary hand colour. Sheet: 255 x 350mm (10 x 13¾"). Trimmed to image. Repaired tears.
The three eldest children of Charles I, standing with two spaniels. On the left is Mary (mother of William III) and on the right is Charles II, both dressed as adults. In the centre is James II, still in skirts as was fashion for infant boys. Van Dyck's first version of this painting (probably commission by their mother, Henrietta Maria) showed both boys in skirts, but Charles I thought his heir should be in more respectful adult clothing. In 1819 this version can be seen hanging in the Second Drawing Room at Buckingham Palace in 'Pyne's Royal Residences'; it is now in the Queen's Gallery, Windsor Castle.

Engraving. Sheet 210 x 155mm (8¼ x 6¼"). Trimmed close to image. 17th century watermark.
Equestrian portrait of Charles I, sword in hand, mounted on a grey.
