Description: | 'The identity of the sitter is presumed from the inscription on the painting but even this can be unreliable as inscriptions were often added by later generations of the same family. The attribution to Wissing himself is only traditional. The picture is, however, certainly a good example of late Stuart official portraiture. The aristocratic sitter is depicted, as was customary at the time, in entirely informal dress.'
