Dyck, Anthony Van (1599-1641) - Triple Portrait of Charles I c.1656

Charles I in Three Positions, also known as the Triple Portrait of Charles I, is an oil painting of King Charles I of England painted in 1635-1636 by the Flemish artist Sir Anthony van Dyck, showing the King from three viewpoints: left full profile, face on, and right three-quarter profile. It is currently part of the Royal Collection.

The colours of the costumes and pattern of the lace collars are different in each portrait, though the blue riband of the Order of the Garter is present in all three. The painting was probably begun in the latter part of 1635 and was sent to Rome in 1636 to be used as a reference work for the Italian sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini to create a marble bust of Charles I.
