"Prince Charles Louis of the Palatinate with his tutor Wolrad von Plessen" is a portrait painting by Dutch Golden Age painter Jan Lievens. Created around 1631, the painting features Charles Louis, Elector Palatine, posing with his tutor, Wolrad von Plessen.

Jan Lievens, a contemporary of Rembrandt, was reputed for his portraiture and genre scenes, his painting style fusing influences from the Dutch and Flemish Masters, with his own unique stylistic flair. In this particular work, Lievens presents a narrative insight into 17th-century elite education, through the tender snapshot of the prince’s intellectual grooming.

Prince Charles Louis (1617-1680) was the second son of Frederick V, Elector Palatine & King of Bohemia, and Elizabeth Stuart, the daughter of James I of England. After his elder brother's early death, Charles Louis was brought up for a career in the Episcopal Church. However, the death of his father in 1632 and ensuing political developments led him to inherit his father's royal titles instead.

Wolrad von Plessen is less known than the prince, serving as a tutor and mentor to Charles Louis during his formative years. His inclusion in this painting solidifies his historical importance as an influencer in the prince’s life.

Lievens' mastery is evident in his depiction of the sitters' attire, meticulously rendered to reflect the textiles’ characteristics. This degree of detail, combined with the soft lighting illuminating the sitters' faces and the warm tones dominating the composition, yield a vivid portrayal of the figures.

This painting is a part of the permanent collection of the Royal Collection of the United Kingdom, reflecting its significant historical and artistic value. Despite being lesser-known compared to other works of Lievens, it merits attention for its technical quality and encapsulation of 17th-century European nobility.
