The furniture dealers Carlton Hobbs have put out an appeal on Instagram to find out if anyone can identify this mystery figure in a set of embroidered wall hangings they are researching. It is possible that this gentleman may provide a clue as to the patron or original commission behind the scheme. The precise origin of the hangings are also not yet known.
Considering how wide the readership of AHN spans, there's a chance someone out there will know!
