About the piece
This authoritative portrait by Thomas Hawker depicts King Charles II in the full splendor of his royal office. Seated against a dark, atmospheric backdrop, the King is rendered with exquisite detail, from the delicate lace of his cravat to the rich blue and white silk of his robes, while the crown sits prominently on a velvet-covered table.
