Caption	"This work is likely to be a 19th century copy of ABDUA: 30090. It is one of a large number of images of the Stuart dynasty in general in the university collection. These images attest to Stuart Royal patronage of King's College and later to the prolonged Jacobite sympathies of both King's and Marischal Colleges. This particular image is based on a 1623 painting of James VI by Adam de Colone now in Hatfield House." Author: Morrison,John Date: 2002 Purpose: HA3541
