Engraving. Sheet: 530 x 370mm (21 x 14½"), mid-18th century watermark. Damaged and trimmed within plate.
A portrait of the mythological figure Orpheus who was said to be able to tame the animals with his music. The engraving is taken from a 1618 mosiac in the Villa Borghese by the artist Marcello Provenzale (1595-1631) and might have been a portrait of Cardinal Scipione Borghese (1577-1633) himself. Whilst Orpheus is traditionally plays a lyre Borghese is depicted playing the popular violin which had been developed in Italy during the 16th century. Borghese is surrounded by domestic and exotic animals, including a dragon, and birds which he has bewitched with his music.

Thomas Osborne, 1st Duke of Leeds (1632-1712) was an English statesman, who served in a variety of offices under Kings Charles II and William III of England. He was joint Treasurer of the Royal Navy in 1668 and Lord Treasurer of England in 1673. His success in stabilizing the government's financial position secured him a position as Charles II's chief minister and the title of Earl of Danby in 1674. He played a key role in bringing William and Mary to the throne in 1689, and his influence declined when he was impeached in 1695 for taking a bribe from the East India Company.

He was impeached and imprisoned between 1679 and 1684 following the discovery that his anti-French policy in Parliament was belied by secret pro-French treaties. He later opposed the policies of James II, and was honoured and appointed Lord President of the Council by William III between 1689 and 1699, but then faced another attempted impeachment in 1695 for receiving bribes.
