Several portraits of Cromwell were included in the Tudor Exhibition,
1890, wrongly attributed to Holbein. Among them was a bust portrait, to
the right, with a jewel in the cap, and the Garter George suspended from
a black ribbon, lent by the Duke of Sutherland (No. 39, 20 in. × 17
in.); a small half-length, to the left, wearing both collar and George
of the Garter, from Corpus Christi College, Cambridge (No. 160, 22½ in.
× 17 in.); and versions of the Tyttenhanger picture lent by Mr. Charles
Penruddocke (No. 162, 18 in. × 16 in.), and the Duke of Manchester (No.
163, 14 in. × 11½ in.).[129] In addition to the Hollar print, engravings
were made, from one or other of the copies of the original picture, by
Houbraken for his _Heads of Illustrious Persons_, 1745, from a picture
in the possession of Mr. Edward Southwell, and by Freeman for Lodge’s
_Portraits_, 1835, the latter from a picture in the possession of Sir
Thomas Constable, Bt., at Tixall. Probably both engravings were done
from the same painting.
Footnote 129:
A portrait of Cromwell, attributed to Holbein, the property of the
late Mr. J. P. Hardy, was sold at Christie’s on 13th December 1912.
