Circle of Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger (Bruges 1561-1635 London) Portrait of William Cecil, 1st Baron Burghley, three-quarter-length, seated by a table, wearing black, with the Order of the Garter, with a fine jewel bearing a cameo portrait of Queen Elizabeth I, holding the Lord Chamberlain's white staff of office inscribed 'Lord Treasr Cecil' (lower right) oil on panel 113.8 x 88.2cm (44 13/16 x 34 3/4in). Fußnoten Provenance With Lane Fine Art, London, where purchased by the present owner in 1980 The present composition uses as its source the full-length portrait of Lord Burghley which now hangs at Hatfield House, Hertfordshire. Strong dates this latter painting to circa 1596-97 but suggests that it may not be the original of this portrait type, which he identifies as Type C (see: R. Strong, Tudor and Jacobean Portraits, London, 1969, vol. I, pp. 32-33 and vol. II, pl. 61).
