A Brief Description Of The Portrait Of Prince Charles, Afterwards Charles The First Painted ... In 1623, By Velasquez: Now Exhibiting At No. 21, Old Bond-Street, London [By J. Snare]

This book provides a detailed description of the portrait of Prince Charles (later Charles I) painted by Diego Velazquez in 1623. The author, John Snare, purchased the painting at an auction and became obsessed with it, believing that it was an authentic Velazquez. The book is part history, part memoir, and part art criticism, and provides a fascinating insight into the world of art collecting and connoisseurship in the mid-19th century.
