The Lumley Collection

The Lumley Collection was the largest in Elizabethan England and was housed in three of the residences of John, 1st Baron Lumley (c.1533–1609) – his house on Tower Hill as well as Lumley Castle and Nonsuch Palace. The collection included portraits of 196 contemporary sitters, and (unlike most inventories of the period) often named the painter.

The nucleus of the collection was acquired by John Lumley from his father-in-law, Henry Fitzalan, 19th Earl of Arundel. A dozen or so pictures from the collection of the Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester were incorporated into the Lumley Collection. The collection included amongst others a portrait of Lady Jane Grey and a full length portrait of Anne Boleyn.

Lord Lumley was the uncle of Thomas Howard, 21st Earl of Arundel, a prominent connoisseur in the early 17th century. Arundel inherited some of Lumley's collection of paintings, including the portrait of the Duchess of Milan, now in the National Gallery. However, a considerable portion of the collection went to Lumley Castle and remained there, eventually being inherited by the Earls of Scarbrough. The Lumley Collection of paintings was largely dispersed in sales that took place in 1785 and 1807. Many works from the inventories can be recognised by distinctive cartellini (trompe-l'œil representations of inscribed labels) added to some – but not all – of the paintings.

The Lumley Inventories

The Lumley inventories are a group of inventories documenting the extensive collections of paintings, books, sculptures, silver and furniture accumulated by John, 1st Baron Lumley (c.1533–1609). The most celebrated of these, a manuscript volume which incorporates a considerable amount of heraldic and genealogical material as well as the inventory itself, is sometimes known as the «Red Velvet Book» (from its later binding), and sometimes simply as «the Lumley Inventory». It is often dated to 1590, although it is in reality a more complex composite volume including material dating from 1586 to 1595. Further inventories were drawn up for purposes of probate on Lord Lumley's death in 1609; and others when parts of the collection were sold in the 18th and early 19th centuries.


The Lumley Cartellini


«[I]t soon becomes clear that cartellini in any shape are very rare on English sixteenth-century pictures, and that cartellini that can be confused with Lumley labels are non-existent.6 The Lumley label is very consistent in format, a trompe-l’œil representation of a whitish slip of parchment or paper, often showing creases or otherwise crumpled, and as though stuck on to the background of the picture, on which it may cast a shadow, with a blob or blobs of red sealing-wax; it is inscribed (where the inscription has survived) with the sitter's name, and sometimes his offices and a date, in a running script in black paint; the artist's name is unfortunately never given. While it is clear that not all Lumley's pictures were so labelled,7 it is reasonably certain that a considerable number were thus identified during a period from probably not much earlier than the drawing up of the inventory in 1590 onwards.»[1]


«6 The Wentworth family seems to have labelled some portraits with cartellini, but much stiffer, heavier, and larger than the Lumley ones (see e.g. the portrait reproduced by CUST, Walpole Society, [1913], pl.xvii a). In probably the second quarter of the seventeenth century a number of portraits in the Royal Collection were also labelled rather similarly, though always in the corner of the picture (mainly whole-lengths by Mytens), and also of much the same date seems to be the very extensive labelling of portraits in the Bedford collection, many of them still at Woburn Abbey.
7 Pictures almost certainly identical with pictures in the 1590 inventory that are not labelled include the well-known Eworths of Thomas Wyndham and Sir John Luttrell, and the whole-length of the Earl of Sussex in armour, now in the Tower (rep. CUST, Walpole Society, [1914], pl.xiii).[2]

(This portrait is apparently from the Woburn collection, another collection which employed the cartellini. I am leaving it up for now. It will at least give us an idea as to what image to look for, though I suppose that is also true for a great many others whose portraits were in the Lumley collection, and whose other portraits are not and will not be represented on this page. Still, so it shall be. I will replace this portrait of Anne Russell, Countess of Warwick, with the one that was in the Lumley collection should I find it.)

Frances Walsingham, Countess of Essex (1567 – 17 February 1633)

Frances Walsingham, Countess of Essex

Of the Countesse of Essex wife to the 2 Earle of Essex and widow to sir Phillip Sidney.

(Identification is based on: This does look like a Lumley cartellino. Probably the same lady as in this portrait. Of the unidentified ladies in the Lumley inventory, only Frances Walsingham, Countess of Essex, was pregnant in this period. I did also consider Mary Kytson, Lady Darcy of Chiche, later Lady Rivers, but she has two authenticated portraits here and here, and I thought the nose in particular dissimilar. Though neither Mary Kytson, Lady Darcy of Chiche, later Lady Rivers, or Mary Cavendish, Countess of Shrewsbury, were known to have been pregnant in this time period, I did consider the latter also. Her portrait can be found here and here. Here it was the eyes I thought was markedly different (with all due consideration for difference of painters and technique etc.). In this well-known portrait of Frances Walsingham, Countess of Essex, you can clearly see that she has the same nose and eyes. Plus, this portrait has been traditionally identified as Frances Walsingham.

I might be retreading old ground here, but none of the above information was noted on the website for the portrait, which calls it simply Portrait of a Lady.)

Katherine Grey, Countess of Hertford (25 August 1540 – 26 January 1568)

Katherine Grey, Countess of Hertford (25 August 1540 – 26 January 1568)

Of the Lady Katheryne Graye, married to the Earle of Hertfourd.

"The La Kathe'/ Graye. / Wyfe of Therle of / Hertford" is inscribed on the reverse of this miniature by Levina Teerlinc, c. 1560[]

Notice the absolute similarity of the descriptions. Not the spelling, the spelling on the back of the miniature seems even 'older'.

An identical spelling can be found in a document from around precisely 1553. After the death of King Edward VI the contents of the palace were compared to an inventory of 1547, and the absence of the portrait of Christina, Duchess of Milan was explained thusly: This Table Therle of Arundell hathe of the kinges maiesties gift as he saithe. (A Complete Pattern of Nobility by Leo Gooch, p. 94)

(The Earl of Arundel was of course Jane Lumley's father.)

But the wording in the Lumley collection and on the back of the miniature is practically precisely the same.

Not only that, but this manner of wording of the identification is absolutely unique for Lady Katherine Grey, Countess of Hertford in the Lumley inventories. Almost as if they were ... copying a label.


No other lady is identified as [First name] [Maiden name] [(Husband's) Title]. in the inventories.

The Arundel Inventory of 1655 has precisely one entry for Joan, however, this one, and 27 involving the name John, making me believe that the chances of a misreading are slim.

For a discussion of portraits of Jane Shore see our Lady Jane Grey page and our The Anglesey Abbey Portrait page.

Vice-Admiral Thomas Wyndham[]

1550[][]

Hans Eworth[][][]

The Collection of the Earl of Radnor, Longford Castle[][]

Of Mr Thomas Wyndeham drowned in [the Sea returneinge from Ginney.]

There seems to be general consensus that this is the painting that was in the Lumley Collection, though it is by Hans Eworth and this is not noted in the inventory, and the portrait does not bear a cartellino. Nor does it carry the inscription noticed by the Literary Cabinet: «Mr. Thomas Wyndham. Good half length, a robust figure in green, with a red sash and a gun in his hand. Aged 42 MDL.» (̶C̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶a̶g̶e̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶y̶e̶a̶r̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶i̶n̶f̶o̶r̶m̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ ̶a̶l̶s̶o̶ ̶i̶n̶c̶l̶u̶d̶e̶d̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶a̶ ̶p̶o̶s̶s̶i̶b̶l̶y̶ ̶n̶o̶w̶ ̶l̶o̶s̶t̶ ̶c̶a̶r̶t̶e̶l̶l̶i̶n̶o̶,̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶a̶n̶ ̶i̶n̶s̶c̶r̶i̶p̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ ̶a̶t̶ ̶a̶l̶l̶?̶)̶

Wyndham wears a powder flask at his neck and a gun over his shoulder inscribed: TW, aetatis XLII.MDL. Both Lionel Cust (The Lumley Inventories, p. 24) and Leo Gooch (A Complete Pattern of Nobility, p. 141), and presumably also Rocco Caravato in Shakespeare, Caravaggio, and the Indistinct Regard point to this as the portrait that was in the Lumley Collection.

Fernando Álvarez de Toledo y Pimentel, 3rd Duke of Alba (29th October 1507 – 11th December 1582)

Even Jane Lumley is not identified by her Christian name there, she is described as Of yor Lo: first wife daughter to the old Earle of Arundell [Fitzallen] drawne by Steven., versus the actual cartellino which reads Jane Fitzalen, daughter to Henry Earle off Arundell, first wife to John Lord Lumley.[])

The inventorist was probably more familiar with his employer's first wife than her first cousin, enabling him to 'go off script' as it were.

If this were the miniature that were in the Lumley collection, a standard Lumley cartellino would have ruined it, covering nearly or all of the entire miniature. A miniature is usually by the size of a big coin or a small snowball.

There was at least one other miniature in the Lumley Collection, that of Queen Mary I Tudor (shown above) by Gerlach Flicke. That one does have a cartellino, but it probably took considerably less space to write Queene Marie[] than the description of who Lady Katherine Grey, Countess of Hertford, was.

Many of the old Lumley cartellini have become illegible. If, however, the portrait of Anne Russell, Countess of Warwick, was indeed a part of the Lumley collection Anne Countess of Warwick Wife to Ambrose Dudlye Earle we see that the wording of that inscription correlates pretty closely with the wording of the inscription on the back of the miniature of Katherine Grey, Countess of Hertford. However, Ambrose Dudley was married to two women named Anne, so they probably wanted to clarify which one she was.

Katherine Grey, Countess of Hertford's inscription handily had all of that information already. A secondary reason might have been that the handwriting was very small and they had to sound out each word, though without actually seeing the inscription on the back of the miniature, that is hard to say.

It would appear that the portrait of Anne Russell, Countess of Warwick, above, belonged to a different collection that employed the cartellini, the Woburn collection. Any basis for comparison is therefore moot. A more relevant comparison is perhaps therefore the cartellino on the portrait of Sir Nicholas Carew.

Of Sr Nichls Carewe Mr of the horse to K: H: 8.

Sr Nicholas Carewe Master of the horse to Kinge Henry y 8.

As we see, the inscription on the cartellino and the entry in the inventory corresponds extremely closely, just as it is my suggestion that the inscription on the back of the miniature (its variant of Lumley cartellino) does to the entry in the Lumley inventory.

Fernando Álvarez de Toledo, 3rd Duke of Alba – Lumley Cartellino

Fernando Álvarez de Toledo, 3rd Duke of Alba – Lumley Cartellino

So one way to test my hypothesis that this was the painting of Katherine Grey, Countess of Hertford registered in the Lumley Collection would be to compare the handwriting on the back of the miniature with the handwriting on the surviving, still legible cartellini.

Another would be to compare the handwriting on the back of the miniature with surviving samples of the handwriting of Jane FitzAlan, Lady Lumley, to whom it was surely a gift directly from her first cousin, Lady Katherine Grey, if my hypothesis is right. For the importance of miniature gift-giving in female friendships see The Feminine Dynamic in English Art, 1485-1603: Women as Consumers, Patrons and Painters by Susan E. James.

As we have seen, an identical spelling of the word Therle (the Earl) can be found found in a document written not long after the death of Edward VI in 1553. At the same time, the description must necessarily date to after the marriage of Lady Katherine Grey to Edward Seymour, 1st Earl of Hertford in December 1560, otherwise she would have hardly been described as being his wife. Furthermore, it seems reasonable that it dates to after news of that marriage became public, in 1561.

This time period, 1553–1561, corresponds very closely as we see with the creation of the miniature 1555–1560.

Furthermore, the inscription seems to predate certainly the spelling in the Lumley inventory, and quite possibly it predates the other cartellini themselves.

It is entirely possible the inscription on the back of the miniature is in Jane Lumley's own hand.

(In its description of the portrait, the Saint Louis Art Museum expresses some doubt whether it was this portrait or the well-known copy (for a long time assumed to be the original ) now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art which is the one recorded in the Lumley collection.

It is perhaps worth noting that the Lumley inventory never states the identity of a copy as painted by the artist of the original.

In the case of the portrait of Margaret Wotton, Marchioness of Dorset, for instance, we have a sketch in the Royal Collection by Holbein, so the original must have been by him, yet the copy shown here above and which belonged to the Lumley colletion was not described as being by Haunce Holbyn.

Similarly with the portrait of Jane Seymour recorded in the Lumley collection. In all probability this was a copy of the famous one by Hans Holbein, yet it was not described as being by Haunce Holbyn in the inventory.)
