Just for fun I googled images of Sir Walter Raleigh for whom there seem to be heaps of portraits. Yes, there is a comparison in the style of beard, and general face, can see how the one would remind you of the other. Almost all the images of Sir Walter Raleigh have him wearing a smallish neck ruff. An early one, c. 1585 has a very wide collar (what is the flip description, "head on a platter" I think), with probably needlelace trim. At first I thought he had lace in his hair, but have decided that is a hat, possibly patterned velvet to match the garment. Here is a link showing Sir Walter's lace collar: http://gallery.nen.gov.uk/image69256.html
