In the context of this artwork, discuss the Lloyd DeWitt of the Internal evidence.
Curator of European Art at the Art Gallery of Ontario, DeWitt examined the portrait’s style and oak panels, and determined them consistent with Elizabethan English Portraits. DeWitt also believes the Sanders to be a "friendship portrait," painted by someone who knew the sitter. DeWitt also concluded that the construction of the oak panel is, in all likelihood, English.
