Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire have teased news on 'X' that they have acquired a portrait of Gilbert Talbot, 7th Earl of Shrewsbury. Talbot, who had married one of the daughters of Bess of Hardwick, had a rather colourful life and his biography is worth reading. This painting, then attributed to William Segar, was sold at Sworders earlier in the summer for £17,000.
