Very Large Oil Portrait of Sir Simon Harcourt

He was knighted at Whitehall Palace in 1627, which is the date on the face of the painting. He became governor of Dublin in 1641. - Large size, at 2 metres in height. - Imposing piece which will be suitable for a large room in a country house. - Fabulous decorator's piece. - Red and brown tones. - Originates from a large house in Dublin.
