This anonymous artwork is a genealogical tree depicting the lineage of the Tudor and Stuart monarchs. It features portraits of Henry VII, Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, James I, and Charles I, surrounded by coats of arms and text. The intricate design and use of symbols make it a fascinating example of 17th century genealogy art and historical record-keeping. While the exact date of creation is unknown, the artwork is believed to have been created during the Stuart era, likely as a way to showcase the lineage of the ruling monarchs. It is an example of "genealogical art", a popular genre during the Renaissance and Baroque periods that used visual representations to illustrate family history.
