A portrait drawing of an unidentified man. The portrait shows the head and shoulders facing three-quarters to the left. Inscribed in an eighteenth-century hand at upper left: N Poines Knight. However, this drawing bears no resemblance to Holbein's portrait of this sitter (RL 12234).
Provenance
Henry VIII; Edward VI, 1547; Henry FitzAlan, 12th Earl of Arundel; by whom bequeathed to John, Lord Lumley, 1580; by whom probably bequeathed to Henry, Prince of Wales, 1609, and thus inherited by Prince Charles (later Charles I), 1612; by whom exchanged with Philip Herbert, 4th Earl of Pembroke, 1627/8; by whom given to Thomas Howard, 14th Earl of Arundel; acquired by Charles II by 1675
