Original Description
The portrait of Charles II by Samuel Cooper exudes 17th-century regal grandeur, capturing the restored monarch in sumptuous royal robes that shimmer with masterful watercolor technique. Executed during the critical Restoration period (1660-1685), this miniature masterpiece demonstrates Cooper's revolutionary approach to portrait miniatures, elevating the genre from jewelry embellishment to fine art. The composition radiates Baroque dynamism through the king's confident pose and dramatic drapery, while Cooper's signature "limning" technique achieves remarkable illusionistic detail in the lace cravat and ermine-trimmed mantle. As the leading miniaturist of the Caroline court, Cooper created what art historians consider the definitive representation of the Merry Monarch's public image - a calculated display of restored Stuart authority following the English Civil War. This work represents the pinnacle of Stuart portrait miniatures, now housed in the Royal Collection as a testament to Cooper's unprecedented ability to convey power in miniature format.
For contemporary interiors, this portrait demands considered placement. Its rich burgundy and gold tones would harmonize beautifully in wood-paneled studies or libraries with leather-bound book collections. As the original measures merely 4 x 3 inches, a museum-quality reproduction should be enlarged to approximately 16x20 inches for proper visual impact in residential settings. Consider displaying it in an ornate Baroque-style frame against dark green or navy walls to accentuate the regal color palette. In executive offices, position it as a focal point above fireplace mantels or credenzas, paired with Georgian-style furniture to maintain historical continuity. The portrait's vertical format suits narrow wall spaces between bookshelves or as part of a salon-style art wall featuring other Old Master drawings. Avoid modern minimalist settings which would clash with its opulent character - this work thrives in traditional spaces with warm, low lighting that mimics candlelit Stuart interiors.
