After SIR ANTHONY VAN DYCK [1599-1641]

  • 'Henricus Arundellia Comes' Portrait of Henry 3rd Earl of Arundel, [1608-1652], three-quarter length, standing, almost facing front, wearing armour, and holding helmet, in ornate frame, by Pierre Lombart [1612/3-1681].

Engraving, on wove paper, from a series of portraits chiefly of the Countesses of Arundels,

"Lombart's most famous work was the series of twelve portraits after van Dyck that he engraved around 1660, often known as the 'Countesses' from the Latin of their titles. Mariette in his entry on Lombart in his Abecedario stated that this set alone would suffice to place him 'au rang des premiers graveurs'. All twelve plates are the same size, and show three-quarter-length figures." See, Antony Griffiths, 'The Print in Stuart Britain', BM 1998, cat. 119: see also entry for cat.120, under P,3.350) The original painting is still at Arundel Castle.
