A failed painter, this steward of Ludlow castle, eventually attracted the attention of George Villiers and collaborated with him on The Rehearsal. His own earlier works include the Cynarctomachy, or "Battle between Bears and Dogs," and a satire on Sir Paul Neale of the Royal Observatory called The Elephant in the Moon.
