I think the title refers to Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor. It's an adorable and gorgeous painting even if you don't know who he is! :)

Oil on canvas
Arthur Hacker was a member of the Omar Khayyam Society, and this painting of 'Fire Fancies' inspired William Wilsey Martin to write the following quatrain in the style of Omar Khayyam:

"Weird fire-light dreams are hers. On her young sight
Strange faces grow, wrapp'd in the ruddy light,
    And fade, while through the caves and grots of flame
Move changing shapes like phantoms of the night."
(1891)
