Charles, 1st Duke of Richmond (1672-1723) is a notable portrait painted by the Dutch artist William Wissing, also known as Wissmig. Wissing was a prominent portrait painter in the late 17th century, known for his refined and elegant style that captured the likenesses of many distinguished figures of his time. The portrait of Charles, 1st Duke of Richmond, is a significant example of Wissing's work and offers a glimpse into the fashion, aesthetics, and social status of the English aristocracy during the late Stuart period.

Charles Lennox, the subject of the portrait, was the illegitimate son of King Charles II of England and his mistress Louise de Kérouaille, Duchess of Portsmouth. Born on May 29, 1672, Charles was created Duke of Richmond, Earl of March, and Baron Settrington in the Peerage of England in 1675, and Duke of Lennox, Earl of Darnley, and Baron Methuen in the Peerage of Scotland in 1675. His noble titles and close connection to the royal family made him a prominent figure in the English court.

The portrait by Wissing captures Charles in a dignified and stately pose, reflecting his high status and the esteem in which he was held. Wissing's technique is characterized by his use of rich colors, meticulous attention to detail, and the ability to convey the texture of luxurious fabrics and the sitter's complexion. The background of the portrait often includes classical elements, which were popular in portraiture of the time, adding to the grandeur and timeless quality of the work.

Wissing's portrayal of Charles, 1st Duke of Richmond, not only serves as a historical record of an important figure but also exemplifies the artistic trends and cultural values of late 17th-century England. The painting remains an important piece in the study of both art history and the history of the English aristocracy.
