Anglo-Dutch School, 1578: Ascribed to Cornelis Ketel (1548-1616)
Three-quarter length portrait in armour of Sir George Gill of Wyddial, Hertfordshire, dressed in Italian armour
Painted in 1578

Inscribed with the motto In despecto de Fortuna, charged with the sitter’s armorial achievements and dated Ao 1578

Note: There is a monogram in an apparently early hand on the reverse of the panel which reads LH in ligature. This had (presumably) been the reason for the painting’s former attribution to the Mannerist painter Lucas de Heere, who was in England 1566-1577. The dating of the present painting, 1578, renders this attribution very improbable, and no other portraits from de Heere’s stay in England are now known. The monogram may be that of a panel-maker or earlier owner, or possibly a bogus addition to support an attribution to de Heere.
