Sir Thomas Hanmer (1612–1678), 2nd Baronet of Hanmer, Flintshire (Clwyd), was a page and cup-bearer at the court of Charles I. As well as being a man of taste, he was also a noted horticulturist, introducing many new plants to his garden in Bettisfield Park, Flintshire. Janssens van Ceulen, although British-born of Flemish parents, trained abroad before setting up as a portraitist in London. He retired to Holland at the outbreak of the Civil War. The restrained silvery tonality of the portrait complements the refined, sensitive character of the sitter.
