Sir Henry Guildford

The Royal Collection, in line with other major collections, makes decent digital images available online, which can be copied without charge.

But what cannot be seen in this one, even when clicked & enlarged, is the care with which the yellow cloth has been painted. That on the chest comes with at least three different textures, either made by painstaking needlework or by equally painstaking patch work.
