Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. Oil on panel. 110 x 80 cm. At Waddesdon, The Rothschild Collection.
The former attribution to Steven van der Meulen is in question since the discovery of van der Muelen's will (proved 20 January 1564); see Hearn, Karen, ed. Dynasties: Painting in Tudor and Jacobean England 1530-1630. New York: Rizzoli, 1995. ISBN 0-8478-1940-X, p. 94 (van der Meulen), p. 96 (this portrait).
Leceister's Coat of Arms is depicted twice, surrounded by (left) the Collar of the Order of St Michael and (right) the Garter. For commentary (including a note that the arms with the Order of St Michael, which Leicester received in 1566, may have been added after the portrait was completed), see Karen Hearn, Dynasties, p. 96.
Date circa 1564
