Image description

A drawing of an elderly man, standing in profile to the right, whose head recalls the grotesque profiles. His flowing hair is bound with a band. He wears a long coat with large sleeves and a hood, and carries a roll in his right hand; numbered '12' on the verso. This drawing of an old man wearing robes and holding a scroll has been interpreted as a caricature of a lawyer or academic. The head of the figure was copied, along with others from the Windsor album, on a sheet now at Chatsworth, inscribed '21 September / 1626 / at Hatfld / da Leonard'. That inscription is the earliest evidence of the Windsor album's presence in England, but how it came to be at Hatfield House (if that is the implication of the inscription), residence of William Cecil, 2nd Earl of Salisbury, is unclear.
