Image: Mary Neville, Lady Dacre

Description: Portrait Miniature of Mary Neville, Baroness Dacre (1524–1578+) by Levina Teerlinc. The miniature is painted on vellum and applied to card. May be the prototype of that which is referred to as the Okney type by art historians. If that is the case a copy was produced by Bernard Lens, based on this, which copy sold in vast quantities. The copy by Bernard Lens was said to based on a sixteenth century miniature portrait once in the collection of the Duke of Hamilton prior to 1710. This may be the original miniature owned by the Duke of Hamilton and reported by George Vertue to have sold in 1745 as No. 28 Mary Qu. Scots. The miniature was sold through Phillips Auctions of London, on 10th November 1998. Lee Porritt has written about this miniature in The Ketteringham Hall Portrait at https://ladyjanegreyrevisited.com/2019/07/28/the-ketteringham-hall-portrait/.
