Notes
  • The painting was purchased in a 2009 Sotheby's sale by the collector Alfred Bader and art dealer Philip Mould. These offered the painting in 2010 to the National Portrait Gallery and the Tate Museum in London for £9,500,00. The museums were unable to raise the necessary funds and in 2013 Bader and Mould arranged a private sale with the art collector James Stunt, for £12,500,000. Stunt lives in Los Angeles for much of the year and was obliged to apply for an export license. The UK government placed a three month export ban on the painting to allow an attempt to raise the funds to buy the painting for the nation. Stunt, noting the public support for the campaign, withdrew his application for an export license. Finally the National Portrait gallery purchased the painting in 2014 with the aid of £1.44 million donated by more than 10,000 individuals, £1.2 million donated by two private trusts, and a £6,343,500 grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
  • The painting is held in an important seventeenth century Italianate Mannerist style English frame.
