		The portraits here and at Karlsruhe and Kingston Lacy have tended to be discussed somewhat in isolation from one another, as though they were autonomous pictures of an equal standard.
		None of the details has the vividness or plastic immediacy of those in the Kingston Lacy portrait (this decline in tactility is particularly evident in the lace ruff and cuffs and in the gold braiding); whilst novel features such as the rope of pearls (itself similar to one in the Karlsruhe portrait), lack all corporeality.
		It remains a very striking image that, as Michael Jaffé has said of the Kingston Lacy portrait, draws on Raphael’s depiction of Pope Julius II and on female portraits by Moroni, to establish a new canon of authority for the portrayal of women.

		After the Restoration, the Bankes family built their new home 15 miles north-east, at Kingston Lacy, near Wimborne, where the contours of the Dorset hills are softer and of no strategic importance.
		Kingston Lacy has been "restored to its Edwardian heyday", but has lost much of its magic, though I was pleased to find a picture of Ralph, whom I never knew.
