Image description

George V 7th Lord Seton; Scottish nobleman; surrounded by his four sons and his daughter. Catholic and a loyal supporter of Mary Queen of Scots, whom he helped to escape from Holyrood Palace after the murder of David Rizzio. Also involved in Mary’s flight from Lochleven Castle, he then acted as her ambassador to the Duke of Alva in the Spanish Netherlands, and it was during this posting in 1572 that this portrait was painted. The figures each have their initials and age inscribed beside them. Bible open at Old Testament, Psalm 111, verse 10 "Initium Sapientiae Timor Domini" The beginning of wisdom is fear of the Lord" Scottish National Portrait Gallery, Edinburgh, Scotland
