EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Portrait of Charles Fitzcharles, Earl of Plymouth" takes us back to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the life and fashion of that era. The subject of this portrait is none other than Charles Fitzcharles, an illegitimate son of King Charles II of England and Catherine Pegge. Dressed in exquisite clothing befitting his noble status, Fitzcharles exudes an air of elegance and refinement. His wig perfectly coiffed and his lace cravat impeccably tied, he epitomizes the fashions popular during this time period. The attention to detail in capturing every fold and crease in his attire showcases the skillful artistry behind this engraving. Rendered by English School artist John Smith, this print was published as part of a collection called "Heads of Illustrious and Celebrated Person". It offers viewers a unique opportunity to explore historical figures who have left their mark on society. The three-quarter length composition allows us to fully appreciate Fitzcharles' regal presence while also providing insight into his character. Despite being born out of wedlock, he carries himself with dignity and grace—a testament to both his upbringing within royal circles and his own personal strength. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time—immersed in the rich history surrounding one man's extraordinary life.
