Portraits of Sir John Don and Elizabeth Hastings and their eldest daughter Anne still survive in the Chatsworth altarpiece in the National Gallery in London. The altarpiece, painted by Hans Memling, shows Sir John Don and his wife Elizabeth wearing the "Yorkist livery collar, with Edward IV's personal badge, the lion of March, as a pendant" (McFarlane 1-2, 4). On the pillars in the background are the Don and Hastings coats of arms.
