Description: | Oil on panel. Lord Burghley wears the robes of a Knight of the Garter and a flat black cap over a black skull-cap. He holds a white rod; an emblem of his position as Secretary of State.
This portrait was created by a workshop of artists, several of whom may have been involved in painting it. They worked from one of three standard patterns for portraits of Burghley. The work may have been painted as part of a set of portraits to hang in the long gallery of a large country house. | Subjects: | ring tudor cap Order of the Garter ruff William Cecil livery collar 1st Baron Burghley riband brooch male portrait 16th century costume robe Lord High Treasurer Baron British School C16th beard tassel moustache staff of office man | Temporal: | c.1600-1610; 1600/1610 | Source: | Government Art Collection | Creator: | unknown, 17th century | Identifier: | http://www.gac.culture.gov.uk/work.aspx?... | Go to resource |
