The painting bears a close resemblance to a portrait of Robert Russell at Weston Park. The fifth son of the 4th Earl of Bedford (see lot 58), Russell was the cousin and second husband of Letitia Russell. Her brother, Admiral Edward Russell's collection, passed down to the Sandys family through his great-niece, and Letitia Russell's grand-daughter, Letitia Tipping (see lots 97 and 100). It's possible that the present painting descended through this line.

Oliver Millar commented that the 'very thin and liquid' paint, 'with a greenish tone in the whites' is typical of Kneller's early period (op cit., p. 25).
