King Charles I Greetings Card

Regular price £4.00

Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

King Charles I NPG D18305

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Robert Cooper, after Goddard Dunning

This later print is based on one of the earliest posthumous portraits to show Charles I at his execution. The costume is correct and details such as the slightly greying beard suggest that Dunning may have based the portrait on notes made on the spot. Little is known about the artist but he seems to have specialised in pictures of the king during his imprisonment and execution. This composition was developed as one of the standard images of Charles as a martyr.

Card size: 125mm x 175mm
