Footnotes

Provenance
The Collection of Jules Porgès, Paris, by whom offered
Sale, Hotel Drouot, Paris, 25 April 1892, lot 40
The Lehmann Collection Paris, by whom offered
Sale, Galerie Georges Petit, Paris, 12-13 June, 1925, lot 258, where purchased by the present owner's great grandfather

Given the soft handling of the facial features, along with the costume, the present work could be dated to the late 1630s or early 1640s, shortly before Jonson left England for the Netherlands. The lace collar may have been added at a later date.

We are grateful to Prof Karen Hearn for her assistance in the cataloguing of this lot.
