Description

This is an early derivation from the full-length portrait of Edward VI attributed to the Flemish artist William Scrots (RCIN 405751). Head-and -shoulders portraits of monarchs were popular and often hung as part of sets of portraits of monarchs.

The painting appears in Pyne's illustrated 'Royal Residences' of 1819, hanging in The Old Drawing Room at Kensington Palace (RCIN 922153).

Provenance

Possibly first recorded in the Royal Collection during the reign of Elizabeth I; certainly the portrait listed in the 2nd Privy Lodging at Whitehall in 1666 (no 237)
