About the piece

Painted around 1690 by Sir Godfrey Kneller, this elegant portrait depicts Charles Beauclerk, the Duke of St. Albans. The work showcases the artist's masterful use of color, contrasting the sitter's vibrant teal coat and voluminous red mantle with a somber architectural interior and a soft glimpse of a landscape.
