Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sir Thomas Lawrence: With a Catalogue of the Artist's Exhibited and Engraved Works
Owing to the gracious kindness of Her Majesty the Queen, I have been enabled to include several portraits from the famous collection of Sir Thomas Lawrence's works at Windsor Castle, some of which have never been reproduced before. Most of these hang in the Waterloo Gallery or in the Corridor of the Castle. The portrait of Pope Pius VII. Is one of the finest specimens of the art of portraiture that any English painter has produced, and in the superb half-length of Sir Walter Scott, as well as in the portrait of the Princess Charlotte in her childhood, we have works of the highest artistic merit, as well as of great historical interest and value.
