| Keywords: tudors dudley elizabeth i elizabethi portrait mary sidney marysidney leicester pembroke 16th century 16thcentury 17th century 17thcentury Lady Anne Porter, (d. 1632)], three-quarters, sitting in a rich elegant Elizabethan dress, right elbow leaning on a table & holding a glove - - left hand in her vest - - a good piece but damaged. Inscribed “March IX 1614 No spring till now.” “A most elegant beautiful portrait of a lady sitting in an elbow chair, dressed inwhite, with a brown and flowered robe loose, which her arms pass through; a red and black flowered petticoat; the cap, &c. like those of Mary Queen of Scots; she has a ruff; her right hand with a glove on, and a glove belonging to the other hand in it, negligently falling over the corner of a table by her; her left is in her dress; red chair, table and curtain, within a garland of flowers, is inscribed 12 March 1614, under its, “ No spring till now;” she has a bracelet of pearl on her left wrist.” This is a portrait of Lady Anne Danvers (died 1632), wife of Sir Arthur Porter of Llanthony, Gloucestershire. This portrait is by Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger and is frequently said (in error) to be that of Lady Mary Thockmorton (died 1632), wife of Sir James Scudamore of Holme Lacy. The inscription “No spring till now” and the date 12 March 1614 [1614/5] show that it commemorated the marriage of the first Viscount Scudamore to the sitter’s daughter Elizabeth Porter. It was at Holme Lacy in 1785, but was removed at some unknown date and sold in 1859 to the National Portrait Gallery who currently offer a color postcard of it (labeled in error as Mary Scudamore) in their gift shop. The original is now at Montacute House in Somerset. From "THE SCUDAMORE PORTRAITS ONCE AT HOLME LACY, AND OFFERED FOR SALE IN 1910," by Warren Skidmore This painting has also previously been identified as Mary Sidney, Countess of Pembroke, and Mary Throckmorton.
