Footnotes

The present lot is after a full-length portrait of a Gentleman with his hunting dog by Antonis Mor van Dashorst from 1569 in the collection of The National Gallery of Art, Washington DC. This painting is thought to have been in the collection of Sir Peter Lely (sale, London, 18 August 1682), before entering the collection at Althorp House, Northamptonshire, by 1822 until 1927. It was purchased February 1930 by Andrew W. Mellon and gifted to the National Gallery of Art in 1937.

Henry Pierce Bone must have made the present detail copy whilst the painting was in the possession of the Spencer family at Althorp House, at which time, it was presumably considered to be a self portrait of Antonis Mor van Dashorst.
