Born in Delft, Mijtens, or Mytens, had settled in London by 1618. He became court painter to James I in 1621 and also held the title under Charles I (1600-1649), until 1634, by which time Anthony van Dyck was reestablished in England. This is the prime, 1629 version of a standard full-length royal portrait type, with fine, detailed drapery painting and minor adjustments to various contours made by the artist.
