I love this portrait too :). The original is at Hampton court, or at least it was when I saw it there almost 23 years ago. It is almost a life-size painting. The entire outfit is red, as the version in Tudor Tailor is. It makes for a very unique contrast to the white shirt and blackwork embroidery. The only place I have seen a color copy of the portrait was on the cover of a costume & armor book. Sorry I don't have the title, it is home packed in a box somewhere.
Catherine ************************** Yes! That is exactly the right one! When I first saw him - probably 10 years ago, because he was the inspiration for the look of a blackworked shirt I entered in a Kingdom A&S - I found him in color - the black and white of the shirt was gorgeous against the red suit. Thanks! AT least I know I'm not completely crazy! <G> Liadain -----Original Message----- You mean this one? http://www.elizabethan-portraits.com/UnknownMan19.jpg An Unknown Man by an Unknown Artist, c.1548. (The Royal Collection) But in color? I know I've seen it in color, I just don't remember where. Give me until tomorrow, or hopefully someone else has it, or knows where a better version is. And I checked the Royal Collection, and doing a quick search did not find it there online.
