Sold...oliver Cromwell; After Lely

Description

Painted in the year Cromwell took complete power as Lord Protector of England (king in all but name). His instruction to Lely was 'paint my picture truly like me, and not flatter me at all; but remark all the roughness, pimples, warts and all'.

He worked for Charles l and, after the King's execution, for Cromwell, before Charles ll appointed him Principal Painter to the Court in 1660.
