Hatfield House in Hertfordshire will be hosting a lecture on 17th October 2025 on the recent conservation and research of John Michael Wright's Portrait of James Cecil, 4th Earl of Salisbury, and his sister Catherine (pictured). Speakers will include Nicole Ryder, Susan North, Karen Hearn and Holly Tatham.

According to their website:

The event will feature a panel of experts who will explore the painting’s restoration within the broader context of Wright’s oeuvre and 17th-century British material culture. This is a rare opportunity to view an important example of Wright’s work, which is not normally on public display.
