Royal collection

  • This portrait is one of few known depictions of Lord Carnarvon, and is half of a since damaged double portrait which included Lady Carnarvon. Other portraits of Carnarvon are derived from Van Dyck’s monumental Herbert family portrait (Wilton House) in which Carnarvon is seen on the right with his wife, Lady Anna Herbert. As one of Van Dyck’s masterpieces, this has been copied by artists as varied as Gainsborough and Leemput, while two artists, William Hoare (in pastel) and Richard Brompton (in oils) have made stand alone portraits of Lord and Lady Carnarvon (Narford Hall and Highclere Castle respectively).
