Gilbert Talbot, the third son of John, second Earl of Shrewsbury, was elected to the Order of the Garter in about 1495. In 1504 he was sent to Rome by King Henry VII to invest Duke Guidobaldo da Montefeltro of Urbino into the Order. He is known here wearing an unidentified (damaged) chain of office. The bust is closely related to the work of the Italian sculptor Pietro Torrigiani. It is likely that it was made in Torrigiano's workshop or by a close follower. Like the bust of Henry VII, this too may be based on a cast either made from life or from a death mask.
