About the piece
This 1626 oil portrait from the British School depicts King Henry II of England with formal dignity. Wearing a jeweled crown and a distinctive ermine-lined cloak, the monarch is captured against a contrasting background of dark shadow and green drapery, reflecting the traditional style of seventeenth-century historical portraiture.
