Painters in the Reign of Henry VI I L 143 



th€ piece palTed into the hands of Len- 

 thall, is uncertain ; the remains of the fa- 

 mily of More are feated at Barnborough in 

 Yorklhlre, where they have a fmall picture 

 of their anceftor and his relations like that 

 at Burford, but undoubtedly not an ori- 

 ginal. There too they preftrve fome re- 

 licks which belonged to that great man ; 

 as a George enamelled, and within it a mi- 

 niature of Sir Thomas -, a gold crofs with 

 pearl drops, and the cap he wore at his exc- 

 cutioru 



The fecond piclure is at Heron in EfTex, 

 the feat of Sir John Tyrrel, but having 

 been repainted, it is impoflible to judge of 

 it's antiquity. The difpute of originality 

 has lain only between the piece at Burford^ 

 and the next. 



The third large pi6lure, and which Ver- 

 tue thought the very one painted for Sir 

 Thomas himfelf, is twelve feet wide, and 

 is the a6lual piece which was in Deloo s col- 

 ledlion, after whofe death it was bought by 

 Mr. Roper, Sir Thomas's grandfon. As 

 Deloo was a colledtor of Holbein's works, 

 and his cotemporary, it founds extraordi- 

 nary, that a pi6lure, which he thought 



genuine.
