Summary
Oil painting on canvas, Supposed to be Charles Boyle, 3rd Earl of Cork and 2nd Earl of Burlington (c.1670 - 1704) in Garter Robes by British (English) School late 17th century. Full-length figure, turned half-right, with right leg extended and left hand resting on a table. He wears Garter robes and holds up his dark blue cloak, lined with white, which is floor-length, in his right hand. His doublet is silver, and he wears trunk hose, white stockings and shoes with red heels. His crimson, calf-length coat is bordered in white, and is loosely bound at the waist and hip with a crimson band. With sash over the shoulder, he wears a lace jabot and a full wig. Inscribed 'Charles 2nd Earl of Burlington, d.1703'. The 2nd Earl was the 3rd Baronet's father-in-law, but he never received the Garter which this sitter wears. Actually a confection, with an alien face painted onto, apparently, Charles II's body. White catalogue number 243 or 263 l.r.
