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.
