The "Portrait of Charles Dormer, 2nd Earl of Carnarvon" is a distinguished work by Sir Peter Lely, a prominent 17th-century portrait painter. Sir Peter Lely, originally from the Netherlands, became the leading portraitist in England after the death of Anthony van Dyck. His works are celebrated for their elegance, sophisticated style, and the ability to capture the character and status of his sitters.

Charles Dormer, 2nd Earl of Carnarvon, was an English nobleman and politician who lived during the tumultuous period of the English Civil War and the Restoration. Born in 1632, he inherited the earldom from his father, Robert Dormer, 1st Earl of Carnarvon, who was a Royalist commander killed at the First Battle of Newbury in 1643. Charles Dormer’s life was marked by his loyalty to the monarchy, and he served in various capacities under King Charles II.

Lely's portrait of Charles Dormer is a quintessential example of his mature style, characterized by its refined composition, rich color palette, and the subtle interplay of light and shadow. The portrait likely dates from the period after the Restoration of Charles II in 1660, a time when Lely was appointed as the principal painter to the king. In the painting, Dormer is depicted with the grace and poise befitting his noble status, dressed in the sumptuous attire typical of the Restoration court.

The portrait not only serves as a visual record of Charles Dormer’s appearance but also reflects the broader cultural and political milieu of Restoration England. Lely's ability to convey the sitter's personality and social standing through his masterful technique has ensured that this portrait remains a significant work within the canon of English portraiture. The painting is an important artifact that provides insight into the fashion, aesthetics, and hierarchical society of 17th-century England.
