Abstract (en)

Considers a green glazed stove tile bearing a portrait of the 60-year-old from the Ages of Man series. The tile was found in 1776 amongst the ruins of Saint Radegund's Abbey in Kent. On the basis of stylistic and scientific evidence it is here dated sometime shortly after 1574. It was almost certainly imported from the Continent.
