Description

Portrait, believed to be Captain John Hunnynge
Dated 1585
Oil on panel
Painted by an unidentified artist of the English School
Given by Thomas Scainton
Museum no. 176-1880

This portrait is believed to be that of John Hunnynge (1557-1586), a young sea captain. The porcupine quills in his cap suggest that he may have served under the soldier, statesman and poet Sir Philip Sidney (1554-1586), whose family symbol was the porcupine. A Captain Hunnynge, quite possibly John Hunnynge, and Sir Philip Sidney both died in 1586 in a campaign against the Spanish in what is now the Netherlands.
