Painted by an anonymous artist from the English School, this oil on panel artwork measures 76.8x72.2 cm and is currently housed at the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge. Sir Henry Slingsby (c. 1560-1634) was not only an influential landowner but also a respected politician who served in the House of Commons for over two decades. Known for his role as Chief Forester of the Parks and Forests of Knaresborough in Yorkshire's West Riding, he played a crucial part in managing these natural landscapes. The painting depicts Sir Henry Slingsby against a picturesque backdrop featuring a serene riverbank with glimpses of urban life in the distance, including what appears to be the iconic Tower of London.
