    <description descriptionType="Abstract">Coningsby is shown engaged in the sport of falconry. In his left hand he holds the falcon's hood, and in his right he swings the lure in order to encourage the bird, flying overhead, to return to him. The fragmentary inscriptions in Latin and Italian suggest that falconry in this portrait symbolises youth and indiscipline versus maturity and control.</description>
    <description descriptionType="Other" xml:lang="eng">The portrait was first recorded at Coningsby's family home of Hampton Court in Herefordshire in 1784, where it may have hung since it was painted. It was purchased by the Gallery from the 18th Viscount Hereford in 1964.</description>
