Charles II

David Loggan

National Gallery of Art

The image is a portrait of a man showing his upper body. He is positioned straight, facing slightly to his left while making direct eye contact with the viewer. The man has long, wavy dark hair that reaches his shoulders and features a prominent nose and mustache. He is wearing elaborate armor that appears to be metallic with a dark, patterned garment visible underneath. Around his neck, he wears a white lace-like cravat and a medallion suspended on a chain. The portrait is framed with a circular wreath that surrounds the figure. The background is a crosshatched texture with a Latin inscription written at the top. Below the image, there is a decorative element displaying a shield and some text.
