In January 1649, the king was on trial for his life in the Great Hall at the Palace of Westminster. Edward Bower attended the trial and made several drawings which he later worked up into paintings in his studio. Signed and dated three-quarter-length portraits of the subject by Bower are at Belvoir Castle, Antony, Cornwall and in the Royal Collection, with slight variations in the position of the king's hands and expression. The present painting relates most closely to the portrait in the Royal Collection (RCIN 405913) and appears to have been extended to a full-length from similar original dimensions.
