Another version of this needlework was in the collection of Sir George Buller, whose ancestor, the Governor of Carisbrooke Castle at the time, was given the portrait by Princess Elizabeth, who is said to have worked it while Charles I was imprisoned there. It was later owned by John Lumsden Propert, later John Pierpont Morgan (1837-1913), New York; sold Christie's, London, 24 June 1935, lot 196, later sold Christie's, London, 24 June 1975, lot 57 (for 880 gns.). It also appeared in J. L. Propert's, History of Miniature Art, 1887, p. 84. and G. C. Williamson, Catalogue of the Collection, the Property of J. Pierpont Morgan, London, 1906-7, I, no. 175 (not illustrated). A needlework portrait of Charles I is described in G. Vertue, A Catalogue of the Pictures and Drawings In the Closet of the Late Queen Caroline, London, 1758, p. 24, no. 162, as 'In a small oval black frame, King Charles the First, curiously wrought in silk.' In the same volume, it is also depicted as having hung on the 'window side' of Queen Caroline's closet, in between two drawings by Hans Holbein (op. cit., nos. 160 and 161).
