Presiding over a grand banquet in his opulent home at Wadley House, Oxfordshire, Sir Henry exudes power and sophistication. The painting, executed by an unknown artist around 1596, showcases a remarkable attention to detail. The scene is filled with elements that evoke a sense of celebration and refinement. Black-clad servants meticulously attend to the guests' needs while candlelight casts an enchanting glow on the dining room. Chamber music fills the air as talented musicians play their instruments skillfully; a flutist and lutist captivate with their melodious tunes while a violinist adds depth to the harmonies. Sir Henry himself commands attention as he sits at the head of an ornate table adorned with exquisite silverware and fine china. Dressed in elaborate Elizabethan costume befitting his status, he radiates authority and elegance.
