Thomas Combe was printer to the University of Oxford from 1838 until 1872. He met Millais and Charles Collins in 1850 while they were painting at Botley. His wife presided over a salon at her home in Walton Street and it was there that this portrait and the companion by Collins of William Bennett, were painted. This painting was made in four sittings of two hours each. The coat of arms is that granted to Shakespeare's friend, John Combe in 1584. He was no relation of Thomas Combe.
