Sir Richard Grenville NPG 1612

© National Portrait Gallery, London

after Unknown artist

Although this portrait probably dates from the 17th century, if the inscription is an accurate copy it was taken from a lost original of 1571, painted when the sitter was aged 29. It may have been commissioned to celebrate Grenville becoming vice-admiral of the fleet that year, and gaining his first seat in parliament for Cornwall.

Card size: 125mm x 175mm
