| Description |
English: Sir Thomas Love, c.1571-1627 A three-quarter-length portrait slightly to the right. Only part of the sleeves of Love’s dark metallic grey doublet can be seen under his coat, or mandilion. The lace cuffs are turned back and edged with cartwheel lace. The mandilion is of a wine-coloured broadcloth decorated with sprigged silk braiding and gold buttons; his breeches are of the same material and similarly decorated. Love wears a steel gorget over which is a fall down ruff. His hair is cut short and he has a beard and moustache. His left hand is on his hip by his sword hilt; he carries a baton in his right. To the right is a table covered with green cloth on which stands a globe and a pair of dividers. The painting is inscribed ‘Aetatis 49 Anno 1620’ (aged 49 in 1620). Sir Thomas Love was a naval officer who was close to the Duke of Buckingham (George Villiers, 1592–1628) when he was Lord High Admiral, and commanded the ‘Antelope’ when Prince Charles (Charles I) and the Duke visited Madrid in pursuit of a marriage to the Spanish Infanta.The identity of the artist is not known although he is likely to have been one of the portrait painters who had recently arrived in England from the Netherlands, but there is a possibility that it may be a later copy. |
