Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Sir Christopher Hatton NPG 5549

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Nicholas Hilliard

This miniature must have been painted after Hatton had been elected a Knight of the Garter in 1588. It is executed in watercolour on vellum, stuck down on a playing card with a single red heart on the back. The detail of the costume is not unlike another miniature of Hatton, this time showing the sitter full-length, that Hilliard also painted at about this time (in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum).

Card size: 125mm x 175mm

Images are printed in their original proportions, within a white border.
