Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Lord George Stuart, 9th Seigneur of Aubigny NPG 5964

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Sir Anthony van Dyck

Stuart's portrayal here suggests nothing of the political situation that was about to overwhelm him and his family. He is shown as a shepherd, standing in an Arcadian landscape. The Latin motto can be translated, 'Love is stronger than I am ', and probably refers to his secret marriage, against the wishes of her parents, to Lady Katherine Howard.

Card size: 125mm x 175mm
