Sir Peter Lely (Soest 1618-1680 London)

Portrait of a child, traditionally identified as Lord Kensington, full-length, in a white cloth
signed with monogram and dated 'PL/ 1656', bears later inscription
oil on canvas
102.5 x 117.5cm (40 3/8 x 46 1/4in).

Footnotes

A portrait of Henry Rich, the future 2nd Lord Kensington (1642-1659) as a young man, which was painted circa 1658, is at Berkeley Castle. Since the present portrait shows the sitter as an infant in 1656, when Henry would have been fourteen years old, it would appear that the later inscription is incorrect.
