Provenance
Probably purchased by Thomas Burnett (1656 - 1729), 2nd Laird of Kemnay, Kemnay House, Aberdeenshire, thence by family descent to the present owner
The present portrait is loosely derived from the three-quarter-length portrait of Edward VI in the Royal Collection which was probably painted not long after his accession in January 1547. In the original portrait he is shown in a gold embroidered tunic and a fur-trimmed coat.
