This miniature portrait by Peter Oliver depicts Karel Stuart, Prince of Wales, later King Charles I of England, in 1621. Executed in watercolor on vellum, the work showcases Oliver’s skill in capturing likeness and detail, evident in the sitter’s piercing gaze and the intricate lace of his collar. The miniature’s small size, typical of the genre, suggests it was intended for personal use, perhaps as a memento or gift.
