Footnotes

Thomas Howard, 2nd Earl of Arundel was prominent during the reigns of James I and Charles I and noted for his art collections of marbles and manuscripts. In 1604, he was restored to his father's Earldom of Arundel and to the Baronies of his grandfather, Thomas, 4th Duke of Norfolk. His fortunes fluctuated under James I and Charles I; he held many high offices and was more than once imprisoned. He is best remembered for his patronage of the arts and for his magnificent collections. These were dispersed after his death, most of the marbles and statues being given to Oxford University in 1667 to become known later as the Arundel (or Oxford) marbles. The library was given to the Royal Society and to the College of Heralds, the manuscript portion of the Royal Society's moiety being transferred to the British Museum in 1831 forming the present Arundel Collection.

The present lot derives from Sir Anthony Van Dyck's portrait of the Earl painted circa 1620/1 and now in the J. Paul Getty Museum (86.PA.532). Bone's squared drawing for his enamel is in the Collection of the National Portrait Gallery, no. NPG D17392 (catalogued as Thomas Howard, 14th Earl of Arundel) bears the inscription Earl of Arundel for Earl Suffolk. Vandcyk/ June 1801/ In the Collection of Lord Gower.
