Although there is no record of van Dyck's original having been in England prior to its sale in 1819, there are a number of indications that it (or a good copy) may have been in England. There is a version by Wissing himself, which supports the theory that this painting is by his studio. How this adaptation got to Lacock is also a mystery but it must be presumed that it came through the Talbots, who were Catholic.
