Portret van Karel II, koning van Engeland 1679

This 1679 engraving by Herman Hendrik Quiter depicts Charles II, King of England, Scotland, and Ireland. The portrait shows the king seated in an elaborate chair, dressed in formal attire. He is gazing directly at the viewer, and his expression is serious. Quiter's use of fine lines and shading creates a sense of realism and grandeur. This work is a striking example of portraiture from the late 17th century, and it provides insight into the fashion and political sensibilities of the era.
