"Portrait of Prince Rupert" by Sir Peter Lely is a distinguished example of 17th-century portraiture, capturing the likeness of Prince Rupert of the Rhine, a prominent royal figure and military leader during the English Civil War. Sir Peter Lely, a Dutch-born artist who became the leading portrait painter in England following the death of Anthony van Dyck, created this work during a period when he was the principal painter at the court of King Charles II.

Prince Rupert, born in 1619, was the son of Frederick V, Elector Palatine, and Elizabeth Stuart, the daughter of King James I of England. He is best known for his role as a Royalist commander during the English Civil War, where his tactical prowess and daring cavalry charges became legendary. Beyond his military career, Rupert was also a noted scientist, colonial governor, and amateur artist, making him a multifaceted figure of the 17th century.

Lely's portrait of Prince Rupert is celebrated for its masterful depiction of the prince's commanding presence and aristocratic bearing. The painting showcases Lely's characteristic style, marked by a keen attention to detail, a sophisticated use of light and shadow, and a subtle yet rich color palette. The portrait typically features Rupert in armor, symbolizing his military achievements, with a dignified and resolute expression that conveys his steadfast loyalty to the Royalist cause.

The portrait not only serves as a visual record of Prince Rupert's appearance but also reflects the broader cultural and political milieu of Restoration England. Lely's work was instrumental in shaping the visual culture of the English court, and his portraits of key figures like Prince Rupert played a significant role in the construction of royal and noble identities during this period.

"Portrait of Prince Rupert" remains an important work within Lely's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its artistic merit and historical significance. It is housed in various collections, including the National Portrait Gallery in London, where it contributes to the rich tapestry of British historical portraiture.
