Hugo van der Goes was considered to be the most important Ghent painter in the period after Jan van Eyck, and was registered in the Guild there in 1467. This work is believed to be a sixteenth-century copy after a lost painting by Van der Goes. A fragment at Christ Church, Oxford, is possibly from the original, although numerous versions are in existence across Europe. In this version, the details of the brocade fabric, jewellery and the sword hilt seem particularly skilful. An almost identical painting to the Hatton work is in the Musée de Tournai and there is also a very different version at the Bowes Museum, Barnard Castle.
