The picture is rather small and was painted at great speed with immense skill; perhaps neither sitter nor artist had much time to spare. It was in the collection of King Charles I, whose CR brand is on the back. He must have thought very highly of it as he chose to place it with some of the greatest treasures of his collection in the Cabinet Room off the Privy Gallery in the Palace of Westminster.
