Original – Charles Landseer's 1845 portrayal of King Charles I's war council prior to the Battle of Edgehill. The King stands centre wearing a blue sash; Prince Rupert of the Rhine is sat next to him, while The Prince of Wales (later Charles II) and the Duke of York (later James II) are the two boys behind Prince Rupert's back.

Reason

The image has high educational value. The Battle of Edgehill was one of the first significant battles of the English Civil War. I am inexperienced at FP, so I am less well placed to judge the quality, but it looks to be good to me; apologies if I'm mistaken.

• Comment. The image here matches the one in Google Arts & Culture but is very different in saturation and overall hue from the one in ArtUK. Anyone have an informed opinion about which is more true to the original artwork? —David Eppstein (talk) 22:56, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
