A Seventeenth-century Portrait Miniature of Charles II as Prince of Wales?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 April 2011
Abstract
This small portrait miniature emerged in the sale, by an anonymous vendor, of part of the contents of a country house near Stamford, in Lincolnshire, on 16 February 2002. The image is painted in watercolour on a pale carnation ground with a support of either card or vellum and is in good condition with only one marginal abrasion. To the right of the miniature, against the pale blue background and parallel to the boy's left shoulder, is the monogram of ‘G’ above ‘I’. The frame is an oval seventeenth-century silver locket with a flat back measuring 33mm × 28mm. The convex glass is held in place by a gold band, and attached to the back is a gold loop secured by a thin flat plate, which is possibly a later addition.
