Portret van Karel I, koning van Engeland 1649

This engraving by Salomon Savery depicts Charles I, King of England, Scotland, and Ireland. Created in 1649, the portrait captures Charles in a three-quarter profile wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a lace collar. The image was likely created after the execution of Charles I, suggesting a visual record of the monarch's reign. The inscription below the portrait provides details about Charles' life and reign. The detail and realism of the portrait capture the essence of the monarch and offer viewers a glimpse into the history of the Stuart dynasty. This print is a valuable example of the art of engraving and provides a visual documentation of a pivotal figure in British history.
