Description: | "The seller's ascribed this to "school of Myteas"; it is more probably "school of Lely. The frame is original 17th century - carving and gilding." [Register]
"portrait of King Charles I after Van Dyck, but painted in Van Dyck's century, possibly in Mytens' studio, more probably Sir Peter Lely. It is, in any event, a good copy of a Van Dyck in a private collection. It is most fitting that a portrait of this unhappy king should hang at Nottingham Castle as it was immediately outside the walls of the earlier Castle that the Civil War, which led to his death, was begun." [Annual Report for year ended 31/3/1953] "Copy of the Van Dyck portrait in the collection of Lord Somers." [Register]
"The picture belonged to the Foliott family of Dublin and Foliott House, Chester, where it hung for many years. A member of that family married into the family of the person who sold it anonymously to Leggatts."
