After Daniel Mytens (c. 1590-1647)
Charles I (1600-49) c. 1627-30
-
Charles I is depicted wearing a crimson slashed doublet and lace edged falling ruff. Around his neck is the Lesser George on a blue ribbon. His hair is worn longer on the sitter's left hand side in a lovelock. Although formerly attributed to Cornelius Johnson, this canvas seems to be a derivation of a standard portrait of the King by Mytens, perhaps of the same type as RCIN 404448.
Provenance
