Very impressed. How did you get there?

@mnutty The fur seemed familiar, oddly enough. And then I could picture More's face by association

@mnutty The tudor rose was a bit of a clue too, I guess, but it was in combination with the texture of the fur.

@mnutty Holbein (the younger's) portrait of Sir Thomas Moore. The detail is of the livery collar/chain of office. Painted in 1527.
