A young Gentleman believed to be Francis Lawley, facing left in patterned black doublet, black cloak with elaborate black lining, high lace ruff, moustache and beard; oval blue background with gold border within gold-bordered green surround, the outer border decorated with curling foliage, butterflies, bunches of grapes on brown ground within gold dart and egg border

The coat-of-arms painted on the reverse are those of Lawley impaling Rugeley.
Although the coat-of-arms is impaled, the only marriage that took place between the families of Lawley and Rugeley was by 1536 between Richard Lawley and Barbara, daughter and heir of Edmund Rugeley. The date of the miniature, 1579, is 43 years after their marriage and it has been suggested that this is a portrait of their eldest son Francis Lawley who was High Sheriff of Shropshire in 1578. Francis Lawley's son Thomas was created a baronet in 1641 and in the 19th Century the family was elevated to the peerage of the Barons Wenlock, a title which became extinct on the death of the 6th Lord Wenlock on 14th June 1932.
