Description:
Engraved portrait of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester (1532 or 3-1588), in full court dress wearing the Order of the Garter. The murder of Amy Robsart, first wife of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, is the subject of Sir Walter Scott's Kenilworth (1821). Leicester was Elizabeth I's Master of the Horse and court favourite. He was suspected of arranging Amy Robsart's murder to free himself to marry the Queen. The original steel engraving, after a sixteenth-century portrait by Sir William Segar, was made for the Abbotsford Edition of the Waverley Novels (1842-1847).
