Description: | This sitter is, as yet unidentified. However, he wears a pendant of the Order of the Golden Fleece, an order founded in 1430 and dedicated to St Andrew by Phillip III of Burgundy to celebrate his marriage to Isabel of Aviz. Like the English Order of the Garter, its membership was limited. The remains of a jewelled strap - possibly intended to be attached to the cap - may be seen in front of the left ear. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Spanish School Æ Attributed to after | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8388... | Go to resource |
