Prince Rupert is best known for his role as a Royalist commander during the English Civil War and later as a naval leader and colonial governor.

In this portrait, Prince Rupert is depicted wearing the opulent robes of the Order of the Garter, England's premier order of chivalry, which is reserved for the highest echelons of the British aristocracy and royalty. The Garter robes signify his prestigious position and royal favor. Lely's mastery of portraiture is evident in the detailed rendering of the luxurious fabrics and the lifelike representation of Prince Rupert's features, capturing both his nobility and the fashions of the Restoration court.

Sir Peter Lely (1618-1680), born Pieter van der Faes, was a prolific artist who succeeded Anthony van Dyck as the principal painter to the king. Lely's portraits are characterized by their elegance and sophistication, and he was particularly adept at capturing the character and courtly demeanor of his sitters. His works are considered some of the most significant visual records of the English aristocracy of his time.
