Karel II (1630-85), de latere koning van Engeland, als jongeman 1645 - 1655

This miniature portrait depicts Charles II of England as a young man, likely during his exile in the Netherlands. Painted between 1645-1655, the artwork shows him wearing armor, a blue sash, and a white collar, which is typical of the fashion of the time. The anonymous artist captures a sense of dignified youth in the sitter's expression and his long, dark hair. The portrait, likely intended for personal use, gives viewers a glimpse into the life of the future King of England during his formative years.
