Abstract

This note discusses the enigmatic double-sided portrait of Sir Christopher Hatton now in Northampton Museum and Art Gallery. It seeks W illuminate the ways in which it could be read, how it might have been viewed, and suggests its possible functions. It also connects the picture with some central texts in Renaissance humanism, Erasmus's Adagia and Alciato's Emblematum Liber.
