Lord Spencer Hamilton (1742-1791)
Francis Wheatley (1747-1801)
c.1778
The sitter was a soldier and Gentleman of the Bedchamber to the Prince of Wales from 1783. This portrait dates from c. 1778 and It shows the aspect of his work which comes closest to Zoffany: an ability to draw with the brush, creating decorative shapes and glossy surfaces, and to give his sitters a characteristic department and cast of features. ©Royal Collection
