Description
English: Portrait of a Gentleman, circa 1596 Charles, Earl of Devonshire, 1567 - 1560 ?

The subject of this portrait, once thought to be Charles Blount, Earl of Devonshire, is unidentified. According to the inscription, ‘AE[tatis]suae 29 1596’ the sitter was aged 29 when the portrait was painted in 1596, giving a birth date of around 1567. The sitter is richly dressed and wears an embroidered black doublet, trunk hose and a goffered linen ruff. His sword belt is of woven gold and silver thread. In the upper left hand corner is a ship under sail, with a hand emerging from a cloud waving her on and the inscription ‘Le Semblable’ [The Same]. The artist is also at present unidentified but the portrait is of high quality.

Notes

Dated 1596. Historical association: formerly thought to be Charles Blount. Note that Sir Sackville Trevor (b. 1567) who took part in the Cadiz raid of 1596 would fit the date on the picture: there is a late likeness of him (acc. ODNB, but image not available so far) at Glynde Place, East Sussex [R. Blyth 12/14]
