Sir Dudley Carleton (1573–1632) was Ambassador at The Hague from 1616–1625, returning as envoy from 1626–1628, where he commissioned work from artists such as Mierevelt and Honthorst. Carleton, a noted collector and friend of the Earl of Arundel, was from an Oxfordshire family. The Delft-born Mierevelt, who specialised in portraits, became court painter to the Prince of Orange in 1607, and painted various foreign sitters as well as members of the House of Orange-Nassau.
