- Bookmarkable URLThe sitter is Thomas, 1st Baron Coventry of Aylesborough (1578-1640). He was appointed Solicitor-General in 1617, Attorney-General in 1621, and Lord Keeper of the Great Seal in 1625. He became first Baron Coventry in 1628. He is depicted wearing a black doublet and holding the Great Seal, which he received in 1625. The style is considered to be a weaker interpretation of that of Nicholas Hilliard, and the post-1625 date would indicate that it is by the master’s fourth son, Laurence Hilliard (1582-1647/8).
