An engraving of Charles II as king: bust length, facing three quarters to the right; in a fictive oval frame. He wears a lace collar over a brocade coat, and a sash over his left shoulder. With, below, a rose on the left and a thistle on the right of a coat of arms.

The inscription on this print by the Polish-born portraitist, David Loggan declares that he drew, engraved and published the print, suggesting that it was a private, speculative endeavour rather than a commission by an established publisher. It is likely that Loggan had been granted a sitting with the king to produce a drawn likeness as a model for the engraving. The English rose and Scottish thistle emphasise the king's legitimacy through his grandfather, James VI (of Scotland) and I (of England).

This print is one of the first produced in England following the Restoration to bear the words Cum Privilegio. A 'privilege' was intended to prohibit an image from being copied domestically for a defined period, and oversees copies from being imported. In England in 1662 the Crown regained royal control of publishing, 'regulating [...] printing and printing presses'.
