Edition:

A version of the full-length by Lely in the Royal Collection;1 the portrait was copied many times and became, to some extent, his official likeness. Lely painted James II on a number of other occasions, including a three-quarter-length portrait in armour.2 At Lely's death in 1680 there were 16 copies of portraits of the sitter, including six full-lengths in his studio, and James II's inventory of 1688 records three unfinished portraits of the then king, all at St James' Palace.
