In 1559, Cicely (d. 1611), daughter of Sir Thomas Wilford of Cranbrook, Kent, married Edwin Sandys (see lot 15). The marriage produced nine children; the eldest of their seven sons was Samuel, who established the family seat at Ombersley, and the youngest was the eminent writer and traveller George Sandys. In 1571, Sandys was one year into his term as Bishop of London. An unusual double portrait of Sandys and Cicely by an unknown later hand (National Portrait Gallery, London, NPG 1268), depicts the couple bust-length and side-by-side, their likenesses reproduced from the present painting and its pendant.
