(13) Mr. Huth's picture of Sir Thomas More is illustrated in this book, p. 118, and is catalogued on p. 219 as follows:- "Half length.
Life size. A green curtain behind. 'MDXXVIII'. Panel. (The sketch for the picture is in the Windsor Series.)"
Gerald Davies also states (p. 125) "In the centre of the picture a group sits Sir Thomas More himself, easily recognizable by the gold chain which he wears (sometimes wrongly described as the Chancellor's chain, but he was not yet Chancellor when this sketch was made, nor when the portrait now in the possession of Mr. Huth was painted.)"
