Descripción: Portrait of Lord George Stuart, Seigneur D'Aubigny (1618-42). Text by Saywell, David; Simon, Jacob, Complete Illustrated Catalogue (National Portrait Gallery, London), 2004, p. 596[1]: The sitter was described by Lord Clarendon in his History of the Rebellion as 'a gentleman of great hopes, of a gentle and winning disposition, and of a very clear courage'. He was typical of the young men who flocked to the King's standard, but he was killed at the Battle of Edgehill in 1642, while leading a troop in the Prince of Wales' Regiment of Horse. His portrait is thought to have been painted by Van Dyck just before the Civil War and may date from 1638, when he secretly married Katherine, daughter of Theophilus Howard, 2nd Earl of Suffolk. It shows him in the guise of a shepherd, languid and rather effete, standing in a landscape with a rock inscribed ME FIRMIOR AMOR - "Love is stronger than I am".
