The  Hon. Charles Alfred Lister, son of Lord Ribblesdale whom Sargent painted in 1902. The drawing was reproduced as the frontispiece of the book which Ribblesdale later wrote as a memorial after Charles was killed in World War I: "Charles Lister: Letters and Recollections with a Memoir by his Father" (1917).

On the tissue guard covering the frontispiece drawing, it reads:

"Charles Lister, Gisburne, August, 1899. When Mr. Sargent was paying a visit at Gisburne, he was impressed by a fidelity to type conspicuous in this mid-seventeenth century portrait and the Charles Lister of 1899. This accounts for the background of his drawing."
