Miniature of Prince Charles Edward StewartThis miniature, painted in oils on copper plate, is of Prince Charles Edward Stewart. The Prince has powdered white hair, a tartan coat and ribbons of orders crossed on his chest. After Culloden, Charles escaped to France and then to Rome. By his death in 1788, the threat of an armed Jacobite revival was unthinkable. The cause became the subject of romantic nostalgia, expressed through poetry and song as well as objects and relics.
