Lord and Lady Halifax had seven children, of whom the eldest was Charles Lindley Wood the subject of the present sketch born in 1839; and the second, Emily Charlotte, wife of Hugo Meynell-Ingram, of Hoar Cross and Temple Newsam. I mention these two names together because Mrs. I never can remember the time when it was not so between us.
But the unimaginative Palma was surely incapable of such things as this and the National Gallery portrait! Meynell-Ingram, Temple Newsam, Leeds England boasts, I believe, yet another magnificent original Giorgione portrait, and one that is probably totally unfamiliar to connoisseurs. This is the "Portrait of an Unknown Man," in the possession of the Hon.
Mrs Meynell-Ingram at Temple Newsam in Yorkshire. A small and ill-executed print of it was published in the Magazine of Art, April 1893, where it was attributed to Titian. Its Giorgionesque character is apparent at first glance, and I venture to hope that all those who may be fortunate enough to study the original, as I have done, will recognise the touch of the great master himself.
