A painting proclaiming the prosperity and stability achieved through the restoration of the Stuart monarchy under Charles II, 1660–1685. On the left is the Royal Observatory, built in 1675–1676, and there are deer in the right foreground – a feature of the Park since the reign of Henry VIII. The giant steps built up the face of Observatory Hill in Charles II's 1660s remodelling of the Park are visible. In the centre is the Queen's House, showing the East Bridge Room added in 1662, with its original central balcony over the walled roadway from Woolwich to London. To the right of the House stand the brick ruins of the Tudor Palace of Greenwich, specifically Henry VIII's tournament yard towers, still in course of demolition, while on the extreme right can be seen the former Palace chapel, only demolished in the 1690s. These are the principal visible remnants here of the Tudor palace, largely cleared by Charles II in the 1660s and 1670s to make way for a new one. The first range of this, John Webb's unfinished wing of 1664–1669, is immediately behind the tournament tower ruins. The River Thames features prominently in the composition. Several ships, including sprit-rigged royal yachts, are shown off Greenwich, firing salutes. These position Greenwich as a manifestation of the restored monarchy – a place of royal parkland and high-status buildings identified with the Crown.
