"King Charles II 1630-85" by Sir Peter Lely is a distinguished portrait of King Charles II of England, created by one of the most prominent portrait painters of the 17th century. Sir Peter Lely, born Pieter van der Faes in 1618 in Soest, Westphalia, was a Dutch painter who became the leading portraitist in England following the death of Anthony van Dyck. Lely's career flourished during the English Restoration, a period marked by the return of Charles II to the throne in 1660 after the Interregnum that followed the English Civil War.

The portrait of King Charles II is emblematic of Lely's style, characterized by its sophisticated elegance, meticulous attention to detail, and the use of rich, vibrant colors. Lely's ability to capture the regal bearing and opulent attire of his subjects made him the favored artist of the English court. This particular portrait is notable for its depiction of Charles II in a manner that conveys both his royal authority and his personal charisma. The king is often portrayed in elaborate garments, adorned with the regalia of his office, which underscores his restored status as the monarch.

Lely's portraits are also known for their psychological depth, and "King Charles II 1630-85" is no exception. The king's expression, posture, and the subtle interplay of light and shadow all contribute to a sense of his complex personality and the turbulent times in which he ruled. The portrait not only serves as a visual record of the monarch but also as a reflection of the Restoration era's cultural and political milieu.

This work is part of a larger body of portraits by Lely that includes many of the key figures of the Restoration court, collectively known as the "Windsor Beauties" and the "Hampton Court Beauties." These collections further cement Lely's reputation as a master portraitist whose works provide invaluable insights into the fashion, aesthetics, and personalities of 17th-century England.
