Note
Notes: James Stourton from Sotheby's noted to George Wachter that the composition was based on an early Van Dyck "so-called 'Great Piece' of Charles I and his family at Buckingham Palace." He believes the painting was done between 1641-49 when Weesop was in England, and he is almost sure the painting is mentioned in George Vertue's notebooks (Vertue Vol II p. 4,62. Bol IV p. 106,180) - notebooks at the time in the collection of Sir John Burford of Burford priory.
