Chapter XV: The Return to Basel (1528-1532) (3)

In the exhibition of miniatures held at South Kensington in 1865 there
was one of “Alicia, wife of Sir Thomas More,” attributed to Holbein,
lent by Mr. J. Heywood Hawkins (No. 1146).

Footnote 699:

The drawing in the Windsor Collection inscribed “Lady Henegham” bears
considerable likeness to the Margaret Roper of the Basel sketch, and
some writers hold that it represents her, and that it is a study for
the Family Group. The position, however, in the Windsor study is
exactly reversed, the sitter being shown in profile to the right, so
that it is not probable that it was a preliminary drawing for the big
group. Though the resemblance is marked, it is not so close as that
between the “Queen Katherine” portrait at Knole and the Basel sketch,
and the same criticism applies to the ornaments and dress, which in
the two last-named are identical, whereas the “Lady Henegham” drawing
shows differences, particularly in the jewellery. See also vol. ii. p.
258. The question of the authorship of the various versions of the
More Family Group is dealt with more fully in Appendix (I).

Footnote 702:

_C. L. P._, v. 952. See p. 262. The name suggests Nicholas Lysard or
Lyzarde, serjeant-painter to Queen Elizabeth, who was also in the
service of Henry and Edward VI. He died in 1570, and has been usually
regarded as an Englishman. See vol. ii., pp. 309-10. Possibly,
however, Lasora was not an Italian. He may have been the “Nic.
Leysure, a German,” mentioned in the royal accounts, in September
1539, as receiving payment under a warrant for 200 _cr. soleil_ for
life.

It appears to have been at one time in the Arundel Collection, and is
entered in the inventory of 1655 as “Ritratto d’un Mathematico.” As
all the other portraits just mentioned were also in the Earl’s
possession, it is natural to suppose that they were obtained by him
directly from De Loo.

Footnote 744:

According to Walpole, the Kratzer which was at Holland House “till the
death of the Countess of Warwick, wife of Mr. Addison,” was a second
version; perhaps the one now belonging to Viscount Galway. This
version, according to the same authority, appears to have been in the
possession of Sir Walter Cope before passing into the Holland House
collection.
