Two inscriptions claim that it is a portrait of Charles Edward Stuart, popularly known as 'Bonnie Prince Charlie'. The Gallery has always doubted its authenticity and leading experts on Stuart portraiture have dismissed the identification. This study, by a historian of Poland-Lithuania, is the first detailed attempt to research the painting properly. Based on archival sources, it examines its provenance and the connections of its first known owner with the Kinlochmoidart MacDonalds, who fought for the Prince in the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion. It considers a considerable body of evidence to suggest that it is very possible that the portrait is indeed a genuine depiction of the Prince. Robert I. Frost was educated at the University of St Andrews, the Jagiellonian University, Cracow, and the University of London, where he wrote his doctoral thesis. He is a historian of Poland-Lithuania, who has also published on the history of Scandinavia. . 606 $aEurope$xHistory$x1492- 606 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aEurope, Central$xHistory 606 $aHistory of Early Modern Europe 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland 606 $aHistory of Germany and Central Europe 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$x1492-. 615 0$aGreat Britain$xHistory. 615 0$aEurope, Central$xHistory. 615 14$aHistory of Early Modern Europe. 615 24$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aHistory of Germany and Central Europe. 676 $a941.072092 676 $a759.38 700 $aFrost$b Robert I.$01174754 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910568297103321 996 $aThe Polish Portrait of Bonnie Prince Charlie$92849931 997 $aUNINA
