專家說明
This portrait of James Stuart, copied for the Earl of Clarendon in the 1660s, follows a portrait painted in around 1638 by van Dyck, now in the collection of the Earl of Leicester at Holkham Hall, Norfolk. Richmond was a Privy Councillor to Charles I, his cousin, and a devoted Royalist, contributing large sums of money in support of the King during the Civil War. He sat for van Dyck on a number of occasions, along with other members of his family, such as for the celebrated portrait of his two younger brothers, Lord John and Lord Bernard Stuart (London, National Gallery). Here, the Duke is represented wearing the same embroidered black slashed doublet and black cloak (onto which the star of the Order of the Garter is sewn), as he is in van Dyck’s portrait of him in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
