"Charles Earl of March" is a distinguished portrait painted by the renowned Baroque artist Sir Godfrey Kneller. Kneller, who was born in Lübeck, Germany, in 1646 and later became a leading portraitist in England, is celebrated for his ability to capture the likeness and character of his sitters with remarkable precision and elegance. This particular work depicts Charles Lennox, 1st Duke of Richmond and Lennox, who was also known as the Earl of March before he was elevated to the dukedom.

Charles Lennox was the illegitimate son of King Charles II of England and his mistress Louise de Kérouaille, Duchess of Portsmouth. Born in 1672, Lennox was granted the titles of Duke of Richmond and Duke of Lennox in 1675, making him a prominent figure in the English aristocracy. The portrait by Kneller is believed to have been commissioned to commemorate Lennox's status and his close connection to the royal family.

In the portrait, Lennox is depicted with the regalia and attire befitting his noble status. Kneller's masterful use of light and shadow, combined with his meticulous attention to detail, brings out the textures of the luxurious fabrics and the subtle expressions on Lennox's face. The background of the painting is typically Baroque, with rich drapery and classical elements that add to the grandeur of the composition.

Kneller's portraits were highly sought after by the English nobility, and his works are considered some of the finest examples of Baroque portraiture. "Charles Earl of March" stands as a testament to Kneller's skill and his ability to convey the power and prestige of his subjects. The painting not only serves as a historical record of Charles Lennox's appearance but also reflects the artistic and cultural values of the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
