Works by Peter Lely (1618-1680), in the public domain: portraits of the court of Charles II (the Windsor Beauties), portraits of the royal family, of sailors and gentlemen, mythological scenes, published online by the museums and collections that hold them, each linked to its record. The photographs come from the museum itself when it publishes them under an open licence, otherwise from Wikimedia Commons, in the public domain or under a Creative Commons licence with the photographer's name. Only works that the holder attributes to Peter Lely himself are included, without 'workshop of', 'after', 'school of' or 'attributed to': Lely's studio produced a very large number of replicas, which are left aside.
