Does anyone happen to know anything about Sir George Delves? According to George's Ormerod's History of Cheshire he was ancestor to the branch of the Delves family of Devon. He was born about 1537.

That's interesting. I wonder why his wife's face is covered? Perhaps she wasn't very pretty.

Hi Jayson and Hepburn
Nice find Hepburn ... I may investigate that site myself ...looks really interesting.
Jayson ... The writing about the painting seems to suggest that the wife may have been deceased at the time of the portrait
"The woman on the left of the painting supports this idea. She is holding his hand, and myrtle leaves (symbolic of love) suggest that they are married. However, she is almost out of the portrait as if she is disappearing. Also her face is partly hidden by leaves. She may have been dead when this portrait was painted. Attached to his wrist he has a ring with writing on it. It reads 'Non Dapo [C....]' which is probably the Italian phrase 'non dapoco'. This means 'not long after'. He obviously misses her."

Hi deb
Thanks for the explanation, deb. Isn't it a lovely thing for him to have done, and one understands the various symbols used it all becomes so much clearer.
