This likeness of the Honorable Captain Francis North through some happenstance appears to have been mis-identified as that of Sir Michael Le Fleming of Rydal Hall, County of Westmorland fairly early in its history. The inscription on the back, which was written on the relining, is probably a copy of an inscription on the original canvas. We are grateful to Alex Kidson for informing us of the correct identity of the sitter.
