Charles II on Horseback

Unknown Artist

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man on horseback in the center. The man is seated upright on the saddle, holding the reins with one hand and resting the other on his hip. He has a composed expression, long curly hair, and a large hat. He wears an ornate outfit with a decorated coat, lace cuffs, knee-high boots, and a white neckcloth. The horse is also adorned. In the background, there are naval ships on the water, with clouds in the sky. The text at the bottom names him "Karel de II Koning van Engeland, Schotland, en Irland."
