Charles II

Cornelis van Dalen I after Pieter Nason

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the upper body of a man in a three-quarter view. His right hand holds a baton or staff. His facial features include a composed expression with a mustache and small goatee, and his long, dark, wavy hair cascades over his shoulders. He is dressed in ornate armor with intricate details in the embossed patterns over the chest and shoulders, accompanied by a white cravat at his neck. The armor is polished and reflects light. A sash diagonally drapes across his torso. The background includes patterned drapery on the left and opens to a landscape with gentle clouds and foliage on the right.
