About the piece
Painted in 1633 by Daniël Mijtens, this full-length portrait depicts King Charles I in regal attire, wearing a feathered hat and a lace collar. He stands with hand on hip beside a table draped in green velvet, which supports his crown, orb, and scepter—symbols of his divine right to rule. The work captures the stately elegance and meticulous detail characteristic of Dutch-influenced court painting in early modern England.
