About the painting

This miniature is by an amateur painter, Sir James Palmer, which explains its somewhat rough and awkward quality. Palmer was the youngest son of Sir Thomas Palmer of Wingham, Kent. The younger Palmer became a courtier at an early age, having secured an appointment in the household of King James I and became a close friend of Prince Charles, later Charles I. He was appointed a Gentleman of the Bedchamber to King James and was knighted.

Palmer's main expertise was in heraldry, particularly in relation to the Order of the Garter, which enjoyed special prominence under the early Stuarts. He became Chancellor of the Order in 1645. It was no doubt through his work in heraldry that he became interested in miniature painting, which used the same materials (watercolour on vellum). In Palmer's portrait, James I is shown wearing the blue ribbon of the Order of the Garter. Although Palmer worked for the king, this portrait is probably based on an oil painting by Daniel Mytens rather than having been painted from life.
