Frances Hender, Lady Robartes (d.1626)

Flemish School. Oil painting on canvas, Frances Hender, Lady Robartes (d. 1626), Flemish school, early 17th century. A circular painting of the presumed portrait of Frances Hender, wife of Sir Richard Robartes whom she married in 1598, wearing a black and jewelled dress with a wide lace collar and a long string of pearls. The painting has been adapted, not originally a tondo, to be a pendant of LAN.P.4 which was ascribed to be a portrait of Sir Richard Robartes but is in fact John Robartes, his son and a 20th century copy, therefore the lady is unknown.
