James, Duke of Monmouth and Buccleuch

Abraham Blooteling after Sir Peter Lely

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man depicted from the waist up. He is positioned in a seated posture, with his body turned slightly to one side while his head faces forward. The man has long, voluminous curly hair that cascades down around his shoulders, and he possesses distinct facial features with a calm expression. He is wearing opulent clothing, consisting of a richly decorated garment with large lace ruffles at the collar and cuffs, and adorned with a prominent necklace or chain featuring intricate designs. On his left arm is an emblem with the word "JOHNSON" visible. The man’s right hand rests on a fabric surface, while his left hand hangs relaxed by his side. The background includes a large, solid architectural column.
