King Charles Taking Leave of His Children

Bernard Lépicié

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts four people in an indoor space. In the center, a man sits on a chair with his legs crossed. He has a long face with a pointed beard and mustache, shoulder-length wavy hair, and wears elaborate formal attire. To his left stands a woman with an intricate updo, wearing a floor-length gown with ruffled details. Two boys are also present - one standing beside the man holding a hat with a plume, and the other leaning against the man, holding an object. The background features classical architectural elements, statues, a soldier, and draped fabric. A table with a covered object is next to the seated man.
