On 20th January 1649 Charles was committed for trial in Westminster Hall. John Bradshaw, the President of the Court, ordered a chair covered with crimson velvet for the King, who did not recognise the legality of the court (the inclusion of his silver-tipped cane alludes to that). A week later he was found guilty and was executed on 30th January.
The artist would have made sketches during the trial.
