Gennari's skill in portraiture is evident in the lifelike representation of James II, capturing not only his physical likeness but also a sense of his character and the complexities of his reign. The painting serves as a valuable historical document, providing insight into the iconography of monarchy and the use of art in the service of royal propaganda.
