Thomas Wriothesley, 4th Earl of Southampton (1607-1667), is immortalized in a distinguished portrait by Sir Peter Lely, one of the most prominent portrait painters of the 17th century. This portrait is a significant example of Lely's work and provides a window into the life and status of one of England's notable aristocrats during the Stuart period.

Thomas Wriothesley was a key political figure, serving as a loyal supporter of King Charles I during the English Civil War and later playing a crucial role in the Restoration of Charles II. His steadfast loyalty to the monarchy and his significant contributions to the royalist cause earned him a prominent place in the annals of English history. The portrait by Sir Peter Lely captures Wriothesley in a manner befitting his status and achievements.

Sir Peter Lely, a Dutch-born artist who became the leading portraitist in England following the death of Anthony van Dyck, was known for his ability to convey both the physical likeness and the inner character of his subjects. In the portrait of Thomas Wriothesley, Lely employs his characteristic style, marked by a refined use of light and shadow, to highlight the Earl's dignified presence and noble bearing. The portrait is believed to have been painted during the 1660s, a period when Lely was at the height of his career and had been appointed as the Principal Painter in Ordinary to King Charles II.

The painting not only serves as a visual record of Thomas Wriothesley's appearance but also reflects the artistic and cultural milieu of Restoration England. Lely's portrayal of the Earl of Southampton is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects, making it a valuable piece of historical and artistic heritage. The portrait remains an important artifact, offering insights into the life of a significant historical figure and the artistic practices of the time.
