Like the portrait of Isaac Honywood (RN23), the sitter for this portrait is identified here for the first time. Charles was the son of Sir John Scott and both he and Honywood were members of the Kent gentry who served under Sir Francis Vere at the Battle of Nieuport (1600). Each portrait is inscribed with a spelling of the sitter’s name as understood by a Dutch speaker, presumably Queborn himself. The portraits face each other like pendants and the character of their inscriptions are identical in pigment mixture and application, suggesting they were completed in close succession, possibly part of a larger sequence of officers under Vere’s command. In 1926 it was hanging on the Oak Staircase at Raynham.¹
