A three-quarter-length portrait standing to the left facing forwards. His left hand is on his hip, his head turned towards the viewer wearing a long, dark brown wig. He wears a white lace-edged collar and the robes of a Knight of the Garter (dark blue lined with white) with the chain and George round his shoulders. His sword is visible hanging from his left side. A fluted column is behind. A son of Elizabeth, the 'Winter' Queen of Bohemia, and a nephew of King Charles I, he fought on land for his uncle throughout the Civil War (1642–1649) principally as a cavalry commander, and became Commander-in-Chief of the Royalist land forces in 1644. At the end of the war he took command of the loyalist remnants of the fleet and despite defeat by Blake in 1650, carried on the conflict for several years.
