"Portrait of the Duke of York, Later King James II (1633-1701), Three-quarter-length, In A Buff Coat, A Breastplate, Sash And A Lace Jabot, Holding A Baton, By A Cannon, A View To A Naval Engagement Beyond" is a distinguished work by Sir Peter Lely, a prominent portrait artist of the 17th century. This painting captures James II, who was Duke of York at the time, in a moment of poised authority and martial readiness. The portrait is notable for its detailed depiction of the Duke's attire, which includes a buff coat, a breastplate, a sash, and a lace jabot, all elements that signify his high status and military role.

Sir Peter Lely, born 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 style is characterized by its elegance, attention to detail, and the ability to convey the personality and status of his sitters. His works were highly sought after by the English aristocracy, and he served as the principal painter to King Charles II.

In this particular portrait, Lely masterfully combines elements of portraiture and historical painting. The Duke of York is depicted holding a baton, a symbol of command, and standing beside a cannon, which underscores his military prowess. The background features a naval engagement, likely referencing the Duke's involvement in significant naval battles of the time. This setting not only enhances the narrative of the portrait but also situates the Duke within the broader context of 17th-century maritime conflicts.

The painting is a testament to Lely's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects while also embedding them within the historical and cultural milieu of their time. The Duke's composed expression and the meticulous rendering of his attire and surroundings reflect both his personal dignity and the grandeur of the era. This portrait remains an important piece in the study of 17th-century English portraiture and the representation of royal figures in art.
