A full-length highly coloured Baroque portrait of James II in a Romanesque costume representing Mars, the God of War. He wears a brown full-bottomed wig, and gold armour of lapped plates and tassels. He also wears green three-quarter length hose and jewelled sandals, cross-gartered to lion mask tops. His right hand rests on a stick, his left on his hip clutching an embroidered red silk cloak that is fastened with a jewel on his right shoulder. He stands in a pavilion, delineated by red swags at the top and grey silk tasselled drapes to the right. The Duke's flagship the 'Royal Prince', 100 guns, prominently lies at anchor. Its flags signify a royal visit to the fleet in late 1672 to 1673, with the Admiralty flag at the fore, the Royal Standard at the main, and the Union flag at the mizzen.
