The  connection  of  many  of  the  others  with
miniature  painting  is  decidedly  slight,  yet,  as  need
hardly  be  said,  there  are  contemporary  references  to
them  which  entitle  them  to  a  mention  in  this  list.
Thus  Lanzi  has  recorded  that  Lucca  Penni  and
Giralamo   Da   Trevigi  were  employed   here.     Then


I02        CHATS   ON   OLD    MINIATURES

there  was  a  lady  miniature  painter,  a  daughter  of
Master  Simon  Bennink  of  Bruges,  who  was  employed
by  the  Court  of  England.  Thus  we  know  that  in
1 547  "  Maistris  Levyn  Teerling,  Paintrix,"  was  paid
quarterly  £ii,  and  we  read  of  her  presenting  Queen
Mary  with  a  small  miniature  of  the  Trinity  as  a  New
Year's  gift.  Again  in  1558  she  presents  her  Majesty
Elizabeth  with  the  "  Queen's  picture  finely  painted  on
a  card,"  and  received  in  return  "  one  casting  bottell
guilt,"  weighing  two  and  three-quarter  ounces.  And
in  1 561  she  presents  "the  Queen's  personne  and
other  personages  in  a  box,  finely  painted."  "  One
guilt  salt  with  a  cover,"  weighing  five  and  a  quarter
ounces,  was  the  return  made  for  this.
Then  there  was  the  Horneband,  Hornebonde,  or
Hornebolt  family,  of  whom  some  interesting  particu-
lars will  be  found  in  "  Archaeologia,"  contributed  by
Mr.  Nichols.
The  best  known  of  these  appears  to  be  Susannah,
whose  father  was  in  the  service  of  King  Henry  VIII.
at  a  monthly  pay  of  33s.  46.  Her  brother  Lucas,  was
even  better  paid,  namely  55s.  6d.  per  month,  a  sum
which  was  more,  it  is  interesting  to  note,  than  Hans
Holbein  received.
