This portrait of James, Duke of York, later King James II, was painted by John Riley, a prominent English portrait painter of the late 17th century. The painting depicts the Duke in a formal pose, wearing a wig and armor, with a blue sash draped over his shoulder, likely a symbol of his military rank. This portrait offers a glimpse into the fashion and style of the period, as well as the role of the Duke in English history. The painting is now housed at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK.
