John Howard, First Duke of Norfolk was High Steward at Richard III's coronation and was killed fighting on the Yorkist side at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485. This portrait shows a head and shoulders view, with the sitter wearing the ribbon of the Garter. Probably painted in the second half of the sixteenth century, it includes a contemporary inscription: '...HANNES HOWARD dux Norff:/ [ca] sus apud BOSWORTH'. A later inscription reads 'THE DUKE OF NORFOLKE / KILLED AT BOSWORTH FEILD' [sic] and quotes from Shakespeare's 'Richard III': 'Jockey of norfolk be not too bold / For Dickon thy master is bought / and sold'. This portrait was in the collection of Lady Capel at Kew, and was seen there by Horace Walpole in September 1761.
