Ah ha, Suzi, you've got it! It is Henry Wriothesley, the third Earl
of Southampton. You can find his portrait in the portrait section of
the http://www.boughtonhouse.org.uk/ page or I think this will take
you directly there:

An interesting piece of trivia about this portrait...it is supposedly
the first English portrait painted with a cat in it.
Cheers,
Danielle

What would you use for the small bows?
I would recomend you to use silk ribbon of the kind used for ribbon
work, its so soft and delicate and would make very nice bows.

Okay, I have everything fixed. This is the drawing I
was talking about:

Look familiar to anyone?
This looks like a redrawing from a painting of someone who was
imprisoned in the Tower of London, and was painted with a cat. I
copied these gloves for the Tower some years ago. I will look out
the research and post as soon as I can.
