專家說明

Colonel William Strode was the youngest son of William Strode of Shepton Mallet and his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Geoffrey Upton of Warminster. In 1642 he was made Parliamentary Deputy Lieutenant of Somerset. He became a Colonel in the Parliamentary army and was a member of the Long Parliament expelled at Pride's purge in December 1648. He is sometimes confused with the politician William Strode (1594-1645).

In his Anecdotes of the Lives of the Painters (ed. R.H. Wornum, 1888, II, p. 127) Horace Walpole commented of Soest that 'his draperies were often of satin, in which he imitated the manner of Terburgh, a Dutch painter of conversations, but enlarged his ideas, on seeing Vandyck ..'. Stylistically this portrait can be compared to Soest's portrait of Sir Thomas Tipping of circa 1660 (Tate Britain).
