When I see you like this, @angelo-chuck-wagon, I wonder whether you are not tired of the art-tits artits' world and come back to our good ol' @snakeoil-pharmstore .... It wasn't all bad, was it?

You may sit on me as well .... you are my senior by seven years, I will gladly submit to the weight of years... and to your weight in general. My young apprentice demonstrated some alternative riding positions to me ... But I digress.

My master Peter Paul Rubens portrayed you as a an impressive rider: Equestrian Portrait of George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham on Horseback.
Anyway, my brush is yearning to capture you your charms.
Sincerely yours,
Anthony

I wear one of your garters in my knickers, my love, it cushions well.
I am also very indebted to you for presenting me with your likeness, which I will wear on my bosom forever:

Oh, thank you for the compliments, Chuck. We seem to like the same style - George and I. I am afraid you still prefer somewhat more sinister beauties.
One of the most beautiful men of my time painted by me!

Portrait of George Villiers (1592-1628), Duke of Buckingham 1625 by Anthony van Dyck / studio Rubens (Museum: Pitti Palace)
George villiers was King James' courtsman and lover:
Privately, James’ letters to Buckingham are warm, vulnerable, and revealing. The King called Villiers ‘Steenie’, shortened from St Stephen, who was said to have the face of an angel. He also referred to his favourite as his ‘sweet child’ and ‘wife’. In one letter, Buckingham reminisced about a night spent at Farnham in Surrey, where the two men lay so close together that ‘the bed’s head could not be found between the master and his dog’.
