Description: | Large oil painting which is part of a series of five canvases which would seem to have been made as some sort of celebration of kingship, possibly in relation to the visit of Charles II
"One of a series of five large paintings which appear collectively to be a celebration of Kingship. As such they may be connected to the visits to Aberdeen made by Charles II during the Interregnum. (1650 & 1651) or with the restoration of Charles II in 1660. These contrasting interpretations are discussed in 'King's College Chapel, Aberdeen, 1500-2000' Ed. J. Geddes, Northern UP 2000, pp.205-217. King's College, itself founded via the patronage of the Stuart dynasty, was strongly royalist in the 1650's and a series such as this could conceivably have celebrated both the institution and the King himself."
