About the painting

This portrait of James I was painted from life a few years before his death in 1625. It reveals something of the strain of the king’s uncertain and difficult life. Hoskins has caught the likeness of a man in his final years, the ageing around his eyes and the face drained of colour, which conveys a general air of tiredness.
