These charming portraits of King Charles I’s eldest children were among the very last works that #VanDyck painted for his royal patron. Conceived and executed in the summer of 1641, just months before the artist’s death, the portraits epitomise the extraordinary skill which Van Dyck brought to child portraiture. Depicting the eleven year-old Prince of Wales, later King Charles II, and his nine year-old sister Mary, Princess Royal, the works provide a penetrating likeness of the royal children at a time when their world, and the Stuart monarchy, was on the brink of collapse. Within a few years of the portraits being painted, their father, Charles I would be executed, and the first British republic would be established.
From the same private collection, these two charming portraits will be offered for sale for the first time in nearly a century later this year. #sothebysmasters
