拍品專文

We are grateful to Caroline Rae who, on the basis of a photograph, believes this portrait to be from the studio of de Critz. She compares it with the portraits of Cecil in the National Portrait Gallery (see R. Strong, Tudor and Jacobean Portraits, London, 1969, I, p. 274, no. 107, ii, pl. 536) and that at Ingatestone Hall, Essex.
