Saving Isaac Oliver’s Lord Herbert of Cherbury

The miniature portrait of Edward Herbert, 1st Baron Herbert Cherbury by Isaac Oliver is one of the most important miniature paintings of the Jacobean age. It had been on display at its historic home, Powis Castle, near Welshpool and has now been purchased for the nation thanks to a funding partnership between the NHMF, Art Fund and the National Trust.
