Description: | This is a half-length portrait of an unknown Knight of the Order of St John, holding up the insignia of the Order. Given the young age of the Knight and the attention he is drawing to the insignia, we may imagine that this portrait was commissioned to celebrate his entering the Order, either at the usual age of sixteen, or 'under age' as a Page. | Subjects: | portrait (young Knight holding insignia) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bourdon, Sébastien (French painter, 1616-1671) Æ Attributed to manner of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8596... | Go to resource |
