Gerard Van Honthorst, Utrecht 1592 - 1656, Dutch School. A Portrait, Half-Length, of a Gentleman, believed to be Sir Thomas Ogle, wearing a Suit of Armour, a White Collar and an Orange Sash, Oil on Panel, 29 1 /8 x 23 3/8 inches (74 x 60 cms), Signed and Dated " G. Honthorst / 1644", Provenance: Collection of Richard Ratcliffe, Manor House, Waddington, Lincoln. Note: Inscribed au verso in a contemporary 17th Century hand: " Sr. Tomas Oghel Maijsior". Sir Thomas Ogle was, by all accounts, quite a character. There is little information on him, presumably due to his family's attempts to cover up the scandals. He was probably the son of Thomas Ogle and Elizabeth Berkley.
