Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester NPG 447

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Unknown Anglo-Netherlandish artist

A reasonable number of contemporary portraits of Leicester still exist, and he was particularly interested in his own image. He is shown here in a brilliant red suit wearing the badge of the Order of the Garter. This picture was probably originally a full-length portrait and has been cut down. Some of the artist's preparatory drawing, particularly in the face, has become visible on the surface of the painting over time.

Card size: 125mm x 175mm

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