| Production | Attributed to William Dobson as a portrait of John Lilburne when it was auctioned in 1904, this attribution was abandoned when it entered the Museum. The name LILBURNE, inscribed on the lower right hand corner, turned out to be a later addition and disappeared when it was cleaned in 1960. Kauffmann (1973) considers it to be German, from the period of the Thirty Years' War (ca. 1640). |
