Excerpt from Description of the Wilton House Diptych, Containing a Contemporary Portrait of King Richard the Second
The Ashmolcan manuscript has been printed in 1757 in quarto, under the supervision of George Vertue, entitled "A Catalogue and Description of King Charles the First's Capital Collection."
The following passage, at page 173, near the end of the volume, relates to the picture which is about to occupy our attention: - "An altarpiece with two shutting all over gilded "doors, wherein is painted on the one side Richard the "Second sideling, kneeling in his golden robes to our Lady, "besides him standing St. John Baptist with a white lamb, "and King Edward the Confessor, with a ring on his left "hand, standing by, and St. Edmund with an arrow in his "left hand, and upon the other door, our Lady and Christ, "and some eleven Angels all in blue, with garlands of roses "upon their heads, the badge of the white hind upon their "left shoulders; on the outside of the door, the arms of "Edward the Confessor, with a red hat and mantle; which "said piece was given to the King, by Sir James Palmer, who "had it of the Lord Jennings. Length 1 foot 9 inches."
This, it will be observed, on comparison with the Chromolithograph, is not altogether a precise description; but allowance is to be made for the writer being a foreigner. Vander Doort, however, had been a considerable time in England, as he quitted the service of the Emperor of Germany Rodolph II., and attached himself to Henry, Prince of Wales, who died in 1612. He was appointed medallist to King Charles I. in 1625.
