1660
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Charles II with His Council is a 1660 ink by British 17th Century, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows a large group of men in a room, all dressed in 17th-century clothing. They're gathered around a long table, with some standing and others seated. The room is decorated with a patterned wall hanging and a curtain. The men are all looking at the figure at the front of the room, who appears to be the central figure. He's wearing a large cloak and has a serious expression on his face. This image is a great example of the Baroque style, which often featured dramatic lighting and intense emotions.
