MEMOIR. 
 
 Richard Cosway was born about the year 1 740. Authorities differ 
 as to the events of his earlier years. J. T. Smith, in his work on 
 " Nollekens, and his times," says that he was employed when a boy 
 to wait upon the students at Shipley's Drawing School, at the east 
 corner of Castle Court, in the Strand, and that he owed his first 
 lessons to their good nature. But according to Allan Cunningham's 
 account, which seems the most reliable, he was sent up, when thirteen 
 years old. to study painting in London by his father, who was master 
 of the public school at Tiverton ; and his expenses were defrayed by 
 his uncle, the mayor of his native town. However this may be, he 
 gained repeated prizes from the Society of Arts from 1755 to 1760, 
 and in the latter year exhibited a portrait of his master, Mr. Shipley, 
 at the Society of Artists. His earliest engraved portrait is the quaint 
 one of Edward Goldney, published in 1759. (No. 84 in Catalogue.) 
 
 From 1 76 1 to 1770 he exhibited at the Free Society and the 
 Society of Artists. 
 
 In the latter year his work was seen for the first time at the 
 Royal Academy, and was represented in every succeeding exhibition 
 until 1787. After that date he appears to have exhibited only in the 
 years 1799, 1800, 1803 and 1806. 
 
 Cosway was a small man, and a very vain one. He delighted in 
 
iv Memoir. 
 
 fantastic costumes, and is said by Smith to have been often " seen at 
 Christie's picture sales full-dressed, in sword and bag, with a small three- 
 corned hat on the top of his powdered toupee, and a mulberry silk coat 
 profusely embroidered with strawberries." His extravagances drew 
 on him the ridicule of the caricaturists, who depicted him as the 
 " Macaroni miniature painter," "Billy Dimple," and " Dicky Causeway 
 in plain English." 
 
 The last of these nicknames appears on a caricature of the 
 portrait of himself published by Cosway, with the pompous inscrip- 
 tion " Rdus. Cosway, Armiger R.A., Primarius Pictor serenissimi 
 Wallise Principis " ; and the mantle, and feathered hat, in which the 
 painter had arrayed himself are replaced by a ragged cloak and a 
 tattered wide-a-wake with a pipe stuck in it. 
 
 In 1 771 Cosway was elected a Royal Academician, having 
 become a student in 1769, and A.R.A. in 1770. 
 
 In addition to his profits as a painter, Cosway seems to have 
 realized considerable sums by his dealings in pictures and bric-a-brac. 
 He lived expensively and his houses were furnished with taste 
 and luxury. From Beaufort Buildings, in the Strand, where he is 
 shown by the Exhibition Catalogue of the Free Society to have 
 lodged in 1 763, he moved to Orchard Street, Portman Square, and in 
 1768 he took a house in Berkeley Street, Piccadilly. 
 
 In 1 78 1 he married Maria Hadfield. She was the daughter of 
 an Englishman who kept an hotel at Florence, had been educated in 
 Italy, had studied music and drawing, and acquired a smattering of 
 five or six languages. She appears to have resided in London for 
 some time before her marriage, and to have attracted attention by 
 her talent and her charms. 
 
 The following curious account of her career is extracted from an 
 unpublished life of James Northcote, the manuscript of which is in the 
 possession of E. W. Hennell, Esq. : — 
 
Memoir. 
 
 v 
 
 Maria, or Mary Hadtield was born at Florence of English parents who kept a 
 lodging & boarding house on a very large establishment which was the resort of all 
 the nobility & gentry who at that time visited Italy. When she first came to 
 Rome about the year 1778* she was just eighteen years of age, not unhandsome, 
 endowed with considerable talents & with a form extremely delicate & a pleasing 
 manner of the utmost simplicity. But was withall active, ambitious, proud & 
 restless. She had been the object of adoration of an indulgent father who unfortunately 
 for her had never checked the growth of her imperfections. She had some small 
 knowledge of painting, the same of musick & about the same of five or six languages, 
 but at last very imperfect in all these. She came over to England after the death of 
 her father, in company with her mother two brothers & two sisters, filled with the 
 highest expectations of being the wonder of the Nation like another Angelica Kauff- 
 man. But alas these expectations failed & the money which the father had gained 
 in Florence, was quickly spent in England, & the family was soon in some degree of 
 distress. This change, to her so very great, she bore with admirable fortitude & 
 magnanimity most highly to her credit, but in the end, after having refused better 
 offers in her better days she from necessity married Cosway the miniature painter, who 
 at that time adored her, though she always despised him. When after living with him 
 for some time, the disgust on each part became so powerful that they parted by mutual 
 consent & she went to Lyons in France & became the Superior of a Seminary for 
 young ladies. 
 
 Mrs. Cosway was fond of pleasure, her husband was flattered 
 by her social successes, and for some years they lived in luxury. 
 The concerts at their house in Pall Mall, which Cosway occu- 
 pied from 1784 to 1 79 1, were frequented by smart ladies who 
 treated the hostess as a friend, and the Prince of Wales 
 is said to have paid her compromising attentions. Scandal at 
 times was busy with her name, and it was even rumoured that she 
 had eloped with Marchesi the singer, whose portrait by Cosway will 
 be found in our catalogue (No. 103). 
 
 The Cosways were also well known in Paris, where the fair Maria 
 was surrounded by a circle of admirers. It was there that Cosway 
 painted the beautiful miniature of Madame His, lately bequeathed 
 to the Louvre by her descendant. He also painted the Duchess 
 of Orleans and the Duchess of Polignac for the Duchess of 
 
 (* Northcote was in Rome at this period.)

 Devonshire, and is said to have refused to undertake the portraits of 
 the French King and Queen. Among the distinguished men who 
 honored Mrs. Cosway with their friendship were David the painter, 
 a letter from whom is given below, and Kosciusko the patriot. The 
 interesting portrait of the latter, painted for the members of Brooks' 
 Club (see No. 92), was sketched by Cosway while his wife sat by the 
 couch of the wounded hero entertaining him with her conversation. 
 
 Madame, 
 
 II faut que je sois mechant, car la bonte me surprend. J'ai recu une lettre de 
 vous par les mains de M. Trumbult, et je ne vous ai point fait de reponse, mais je l'allai 
 voir hier au soir, il me dit qu'il avait recu une lettre de vous dans laquelle vous le 
 chargiez de bien de choses. Alors la honte a surmonte ma paresse et je me suis mis 
 a vous ecrire. Mais aussi croyez-moi, si je ne vous donnois pas souvent de mes 
 nouvelles, je me disais a moi-meme bien des sottises, il n'y avait point de jours que je 
 ne disois a ma femme : demain j'ecrirai a Mme. Cosway, et jamais demain ne venait 
 enfin n'en parlons plus, je fais voeu de n'y plus retomber. 
 
 Conde m'a fait voir la medaille que l'Angleterre lui a decernee ; cette justice me 
 donne une bonne idee de l'Academie de Londres ; chez nous un homme comme Conde, 
 qui serait tombe des nues, n'aurait pas seulement etc admis au concours. Je vais encore 
 vous faire un autre avis de ma paresse : il y a plus d'un mois que le Torse de l'Hymen est 
 encaisse, et je ne l'ai pas encore fait porter chez Mr. Perregaud, rue du Sentier ; je vous 
 prie de remercier Mr. Cosway de l'estampe du Portrait du Prince de Galles que Conde 
 m'a apporte de sa part ; je l'ai fait encadrer, elle est dans mon salon et fait plaisir a tous 
 ceux qui la voient; je compte toujours aller m'acquitter d'une dette, lorsque j'irai en 
 Angleterre, qui est de vous prier d'accepter un petit dessin de moy en souvenir du 
 plaisir que j'ai eu a faire votre connaissance. A propos, je me souviens que vous me 
 dites alors que vous m'ecririez quand vous auriez besoin de couleurs ou autres choses; 
 comptez plus sur mon empressement a vous servir que sur mon exactitude a vous 
 ecrire. C'est parce que je me connais paresseux que je pardonne a Mr. Saint Andre de 
 ce qu'il ne m'ecrit pas : j'espere qu'un jour il lui prendra le merae remords qu'a moi. 
 Dites-lui bien des choses de ma part, et combien je regrette de ne plus le voir. La 
 maison de Mr. Trueraine est triste pour moi depuis qu'il n'y est plus. Je vais actuelle- 
 ment vous entretenir d'autres choses. 
 
 Celui qui aura Phonneur de vous donner cette lettre de ma part est d'abord le plus 
 digne homme que je connaisse et bien digne qu'on s'interesse a lui, c'est pour cela que 
 je vous l'adresse ; il est celebre musicien italien, ayant joue chez nous au concert 
 spirituel avec tous les applaudissements possibles. Son nom est tres fameux dans la 
 musique, il se nomme Caravoglio, il joue du hautbois, et comme vous aimez et faites

 souvent de la musique, j'ai cru bien faire que de vous l'adresser. La seule priere que 
 je vous fais, c'est quand vous donnerez concert chez vous, de le faire venir et de le 
 faire connaitre en Angleterre, et j'ose dire que quand on l'aura entendu, il le sera 
 bientot. 
 
 Adieu, ma bonne Madame Cosway, embrassez bien pour moi votre cher mari et 
 croyez que vous avez un bon ami en France. Je vous assure qu'en ecrivant cette 
 derniere phrase j'ay les larmes aux yeux. Ma femme vous embrasse de tout son coeur 
 et nous parlons souvent de vous. 
 
 Adieu, digne dame, pour la vie, votre serviteur ct ami, 
 
 David. 
 
 Mrs. Cosway was an industrious artist, but her efforts, though 
 they were admired during her lifetime, do not possess much merit. 
 Her paintings were exhibited at the Royal Academy, and her 
 portrait of the Duchess of Devonshire in the character of Cynthia was 
 much admired. Besides her original works, she engraved copies 
 made by herself of pictures in the Louvre, and reproduced in fac- 
 simile many of her husband's sketches. She did not escape the 
 lash of the satirist, as may be seen in the following verses addressed 
 to her husband by " Peter Pindar," in which she comes in for her 
 
 share of ridicule : — 
 
 Fie, Cosway ! I'm ashamed to say 
 
 Thou own'st the title of R.A. 
 I fear, to damn thee, 'twas the devil's sending. 
 
 Some honest calling quickly find, 
 
 And bid thy Wife her kitchen mind, 
 Or shirts and shifts be making or be mending. 
 
 If Madam cannot make a shirt, 
 
 Or mend, or from it wash the dirt, 
 Better than paint— the Poet for thee feels — 
 
 Or take a stitch up in thy stocking, 
 
 (Which for a Wife is very shocking) 
 I pity the condition of thy heels. 
 
 What vanity was in your skulls 
 
 To make you act so like two fools, 
 T'expose your daubs tho' made with wondrous pains out ? 
 
 Could Raphael's angry ghost arise, 
 
 And on the figures cast his eyes, 
 He'd catch a pistol up and blow your brains out. 
 
viii Memoir. 
 
 Muse in this criticism I fear 
 Thou really hast been too severe : 
 Cosway paints miniature with truth and spirit, 
 And Mrs. Cosway boasts a fund of merit. 
 
 Peter Pindar, Ode viii. 
 
 After a time Mrs. Cosway seems to have become tired of her 
 husband and her London life, and pleaded ill-health as an excuse for 
 living abroad. She settled in France, and by the advice of Cardinal 
 Fesch established a college for the education of young ladies at 
 Lyons. France and England were then at war, and for some years 
 Mrs. Cosway held but little communication with her husband. She 
 must, however, have visited England occasionally, as the only child 
 of the marriage, a daughter named Louisa Paolina Angelica, appears 
 to have been born about 1 790. The child remained under the care of 
 her father until her death in 1796. In that year Mrs. Cosway was 
 again in England, for Horace Walpole writes : — " Mrs. Cosway was 
 so afflicted for her only little girl that she shut herself up in her 
 chamber and would not be seen. The man Cosway does not seem 
 to think that much of the loss belonged to him : he romanced with 
 his usual vivacity." (Walpole's Letters, v. 6, p. 528.) 
 
 Cosway had removed in 1 79 1 to the corner of Stratford Place 
 and Oxford Street. The figure of the lion, which is still to be seen 
 on the house, and the supposed resemblance of the painter to a 
 monkey gave occasion for the often-quoted lines which are reputed to 
 have been stuck upon his door : — 
 
 " When a man to a fair for a show brings a lion, 
 'Tis usual a monkey the sign post to tie on ; 
 But here the old custom reversed is seen, 
 For the Lion's without and the monkey's within." 
 
 The lampoon, it is said, drove the susceptible painter to migrate to 
 No. 20 in the same street, where, according to Smith's account, he 
 established himself in a princely style, and filled the rooms with old 
 furniture, Persian carpets, bronzes, china cabinets, and crystal cups.

 On moving from Pall Mall he appears to have weeded his col- 
 lection of pictures, and had a two days' sale at Christie's, which was 
 announced as follows : — •

 COLLECTION OF PICTURES, 
 
 The Property of RICHARD COSWAY, Esq., RA., 
 removed from his late Residence in Pall Mall. 
 By Mr. Christie, in Pall Mall. 
 Friday, March 2, 1792, and following day. 
 
 The pictures only realised an average of or £4., though one 
 fetched as much as ^94 10s. 
 
 Cosway's habit of romancing alluded to by Horace Walpole 
 seems occasionally to have been the result of mental delusions. 
 The following anecdote, bearing on this peculiarity, is related in 
 " Fifty Years Recollections of Cyrus Redding," published in 1857. 
 A friend invited Richard Cosway to dinner, on his retiring early he 
 was pressed to account for it ; as a secret he stated that he was going 
 to meet the " Wandering Jew," just arrived in England. Cosway 
 refused to let anyone accompany him, and retired. His entertainer 
 happening later in the evening to turn into one of the theatres, there 
 saw Cosway seated. The next day asking him what had taken place, 
 " Oh ! " he replied, " wonders beyond all conception ; but I am for- 
 bidden to communicate them." When told where he had been seen 
 Cosway denied it with indignation, saying it was a spirit assuming his 
 shape, and that such things often happened to him. 
 
 An amusing anecdote illustrative of Cosway's vanity and 
 absurdity is related at great length by Angelo in his Reminiscences, 
 vol. 1, p. 358, et sub. Cosway, after becoming an R.A., was careful 
 to be present whenever any of the Royal Family visited the exhibi- 
 tions. On one occasion it appears that the King being ill the Prince 
 
x Memoir. 
 
 of Wales paid the Royal Academicians a visit on the day of the 
 private view as the representative of his father. The President was 
 ill with the gout, and Cosway to his great joy was appointed to act 
 for him. Cosway received the Prince attired in a dove-coloured suit, 
 silver embroidered court dress, with sword, bag-wig and chapeau 
 bras. He followed the royal party through all the apartments, utter- 
 ing a hundred high-flown compliments. When the Prince retired the 
 grand little man attended him to the carriage, and in the presence of 
 the huzzaing crowd retreated backwards with measured steps, making 
 at each step a profound obeisance, when, sad to relate, his sword got 
 between his legs, and he was suddenly prostrate in the mud. " Just 
 as I anticipated, ye Gods ! " exclaimed the Prince as he drove away. 
 Poor " Tiny Cosmetic," as the satirist dubbed him ! the giant porter 
 carried him into the Royal Academy in his arms, the great doors were 
 closed upon the laughing people, and the motherly house-keeper 
 tenderly wiped away the traces of his misfortune with a scented 
 napkin. 
 
 It is said that George III., when speaking of the artists 
 employed by himself and his son, observed, with reference to Cosway, 
 " Among my painters there are no fops." 
 
 " Cosway 's later years were passed," says Allan Cunningham, 
 " in pain, bodily and mental. A paralytic stroke deprived him of the 
 use of his right hand, and with it cut off one chief source of pleasure, 
 the power of drawing." It is not stated, however, at what date this 
 misfortune came upon him, and he appears to have been painting 
 portraits as late as 1814. It is agreeable to hear from the same 
 authority that the truant Maria returned to the domestic hearth 
 and soothed the poor fop's declining years with her attentions. He 
 found some solace, too, in the contemplation of the works of art with 
 which his house in Stratford Place was decorated, and in imaginary 
 intercourse with the spirits of the mighty dead. Praxiteles and

 Apelles favoured him with revelations on the subject of their 
 respective arts, and Pitt paid him a visit to express remorse at not 
 having done more when Prime Minister to encourage his talents. 
 But Charles I. was his favorite companion, His friends seem to 
 have been in doubt whether these romances were deliberate 
 inventions or the result of a disordered imagination. They probably 
 partook of the nature of both, for vanity such as Cosway's appears 
 more or less closely allied to insanity. 
 
 It is probable that early in the year 1821 he began to feel that his 
 end was approaching, for in the May of that year he was preparing 
 to give up the house in Stratford Place, and was disposing of his 
 dearly loved pictures and other works of art ; the sale took place at 
 20, Stratford Place, and was thus announced —

 Cosway died on the 4th of July, 1821, aged eighty years, while 
 taking an airing in the carriage of his old friend, Miss Udney. He 
 was residing at the time in the Edgware Road, which had then, at a 
 short distance from Tyburn Turnpike, almost the appearance of a 
 country highway. He was buried in the Marylebone New Church, 
 and a monument by Westmacott on the north wall bears the following 
 inscription, which was drawn up for Mrs. Cosway by her brother- 
 in-law, William Combe : —

 After paying the last tribute of respect to her husband, Maria 
 Cosway departed to Lodi, where she resumed her place as Head of 
 an Educational Establishment for young ladies. Her sister Char- 
 lotte, when an old maid of forty, had married William Combe, the 
 author of Dr. Syntax, then seventy-two years of age, and a prisoner 
 in the Fleet. Mrs. Cosway, besides employing her brother-in-law to 
 draw up an Epitaph on her husband, was also anxious that he should 
 write his Memoirs for publication, and entrusted him with some letters 
 and journals for that purpose. Owing, however, to a misunder- 
 standing, the intention was never carried out, as will be seen from 
 the following curiously spelled letter addressed by Mrs. Cosway from 
 Lodi to Mr. Combe, at 1 2, Lambeth Road, Surrey, London : — 
 
Memoir.

 Lodi 24 J any- 1823. 
 
 Dear Sir 
 
 It was not my intension to trouble you as I thought I should hear of you 
 from Charlotte, and that also she would comunicate to you what I was anxious 
 about before my departure from England, but I find from her last that there must 
 be a very great misunderstanding between us, which has much distressed me. When 
 we taulkd of having some Memoires written on Mr. Cosway and agreed no one 
 more able than yourself I was happy to see you undertook it. At the same time 
 we taulkd of publishing a Correspondence, &c, and Travelles, &c, of myself, of 
 which I felt somewhat awkward about and taulking of it with some persons, what 
 they observed on it discouraged me and made me think not to press that part 
 tho' it might have been announced for a future opportunity; my delicasey was also 
 on account of some of those persons being living. With this determination I told 
 Charlotte to return me my letters and those which regarded only myse/f and were not 
 of use to you, as I had a particular objection to her taking them to Ireland, had she 
 remaind in London, (since she seem'd determind not to come with me) who could 
 I put my trust to better hands! However, whether she was offended, or hurt on 
 the sake of her friends — She returnd a box which I never opend for want of time — I 
 am positively sure she said she had taken to translate those you had chosen and were 
 necessary &c— I thought this settled, and told her I had several journals and letters 
 here that I should send by the first opportunity. I was anxious to know if you went 
 on; in her first letter (for I have had but two) she told me a long history about 
 Mrs. Udny's letters, and of a visit she had from a gent: on the subject, which I 
 thought as obsurd as extraordinary, for Charlotte might have said she had distroid 
 them. Now, Sir, after all this detail whether I have or not well explaind I hope you 
 will judge that I must feel uncertain on the subject, which induces me to address myself 
 to you. I have been looking for an engraver to give those portraits and sketches 
 which I thought would illustrate the work — I left to Charlotte's care the only small 
 plates etched by Mr. Cos. himself, which I thought would be interesting. In short 
 what could I do more ? I wished much to see you before I set out, I told her so, but 
 the uncertainty of your being able to come — not knowing how to contrive it and the 
 many things I had to do in those last days, made me lose this satisfaction. I may 
 be mistaken — but I always thought that her friends have ingrossed so much on her 
 good nature and they have used such means to keep her to themselves as she is very 
 usefull to them that the feelings of blood and friendship in me go for nothing. I 
 said and did all I could to induce her to come with me, but could go no farther 
 when I found more attraction on the other side — may it be for the best. But I beg, 
 Sir, that this may rest entre nous and that you will never mention to her what I have 
 said — was it not natural that two sisters should end their life together? That I should 
 look on her as my only relative? But this is what her friends feard, and made me 
 
xiv 
 
 M emoir. 
 
 promise not to take her away. All these things prayed on my mind, which induced 
 to do what I have said above — but still I repeat this has nothing to do with what 
 was agreed to be done about Mr. Cosway — If you will favor me with a few lines you 
 will much oblige me, or intrust any message to Mr Taylor or Prince Hoare, to both 
 I gave a message for you. — 
 
 Believe me. Dear Sir, yours sincerly, 
 
 Maria Cosway. 
 
 My address is Madame Cosway, 
 
 a Lodi, Via Milan. 
 
 Cosway 's collections were sold by his wife, who is said to have 
 realized some thousands of pounds by the sale. His drawings by 
 the old masters were stamped with his initials, but the specimens 
 which we have seen are not remarkable for their merits. The 
 Drawings and Engravings were sold by Mr. Stanley, at his auction 
 rooms, 21, Old Bond Street, on February 14th, 1822, and seven 
 following days. And on Friday the 8th of March, 1822, and 
 following day, the last portion was brought to the hammer. This 
 comprised, as the title of the catalogue informs us, " Pictures, being 
 those for which he had the greatest partiality, and which were 
 removed from Stratford Place to his late Residence in Edgware 
 Road, ' also Articles of Virtu, Miniatures by Hilliard, Cooper, and 
 other early masters, etc. 
 
 Richard Cosway is best known to the present generation 
 through his miniatures, but it will be seen from the present Cata- 
 logue of his Engraved Works that he also produced many Portraits 
 on a larger scale. The list contains a considerable number of 
 mezzotint reproductions of his Oil Paintings, but the greater part 
 of the engravings are from drawings executed in pencil, with a little 
 colour introduced here and there into the face and hands and 
 sometimes into some portion of the dress. In this style there exists 
 quite a gallery of the men and women of the day. There are also 
 many fancy subjects. 
 
Memoir. xv 
 
 Cosway was not without rivals, whose productions are often 
 attributed to him, but the combined grace and firmness of his 
 touch are inimitable. His style is especially to be recognized in 
 the refined but powerful moulding of the face, the exquisite delicacy 
 of the hands, and the graceful indication of the drapery. 
 
 Beyond the human figure, there is not much to praise. His 
 landscape is weak, and when animals are introduced the result is 
 generally painful. The lion under Princess Charlotte's bed, in 
 No. 25, has the expression of an Alderman, His dogs belong to 
 no known breed, and his cows would never have been admitted 
 to an Agricultural Show. Cosway was only at home on the shady 
 side of Pall Mall, a veritable " boulevardier," and Nature, beyond 
 that of his sitters, did not come within the compass of his studies. 
 His milkmaids and peasant girls are only fine ladies masquerading. 
 The fine gentlemen whom he depicted in Court dresses and feathered 
 hats seem much more at their ease. 
 
NOTE. 
 
 THE following Catalogue has been compiled for the most part from a 
 collection of the Engraved Works of Richard Cosway in the possession of 
 Sir Philip Currie, but I am also greatly indebted to His Excellency M. de 
 Falbe, to A. Kimber, Esq., and to E. Joseph, Esq., who have kindly given 
 me access to their collections, and to S. Colvin, Esq., and L. Fagan, Esq., 
 for the facilities afforded me during my researches in the Print Room of 
 the British Museum. 
 
 The Engravings after Cosway are mostly to be found in the usual states ; 
 namely — engraver's trial proofs, proofs before letters, and prints ; but the only 
 variations that I have thought it necessary to notice are those where some 
 change of inscription, or date of publication, or other actual alteration has 
 been made in the plate. Many of the prints, especially those of the full- 
 length portraits of ladies, are to be met with beautifully printed in colours 
 in exact imitation of the original drawings ; the tinting of the faces and 
 hands is so well reproduced as to make it probable that they were executed 
 under the supervision of Cosway himself. 
 
 It is hoped that the present Catalogue, besides being of interest to the 
 print collector, will also be of assistance to those possessing originals by 
 Cosway, and who may be anxious to ascertain if such have been engraved. 
 
 The titles of the prints are in nearly all cases exactly copied from 
 the engravings, with the exception that the words between parenthesis do 
 not appear on the prints. 
 
 The letters D., M. or P. at the end of the description signify that, so 
 far as can be ascertained, the original is a Drawing, Miniature or Oil 
 Painting.

 William, Duke of Clarence. 
 
 Son of George III ; succeeded to the throne as William IV, 1830; died 20th June, 
 1837- 
 
 Half-length, in an oval, directed to the left, facing and looking to front ; rather long 
 
 flowing hair ; in robes of the Garter ; ornamental frame. 
 Line in the manner of Sharp ; the plate is unfinished and bears no inscription or 
 
 artist's names ; size by 6\ in. (M.) 
 
 *x* The above was evidently intended for a companion to Sharp's fine engraving of 
 George, Prince of Wales, but is much inferior to that masterpiece, the face especially 
 being very laboured and weak ; the plate may have been left unfinished on that 
 account ; or possibly the miniature not meeting with the approval of the Duke, 
 and his having directed alterations to be made, the plate was abandoned and the 
 miniature in its altered state engraved by E. Scriven (see the following) ; the plate 
 is still in existence in its unfinished condition. The original miniature is in the 
 possession of Her Majesty at Windsor ; the head shows plain traces of having been 
 altered, the hair being now represented as cut very closely.

 (Harriet Lady Cockerell) as a Gipsy Woman. 
 
 Daughter of Sir John Rushout, who was created first Baron Northwick; married, 1808, 
 Sir Charles Cockerell (his second wife); died 185 1. This has been described 
 as a portrait of Rebecca, Lady Northwick, but clearly in error, as the 
 portrait is that of a young lady, while the costume and the style of execu- 
 tion both point to the beginning of the present century as the period when the

 Mrs. Jackson. 
 
 There is some uncertainty as to the original of this very charming drawing, but most 
 probably it is a portrait of Charlotte Dowding, who married the Rev. Thomas 
 Jackson, Canon of St. Paul's and Chaplain to George III, and was the mother of 
 the two well-known Envoys, Francis James Jackson and Sir George Jackson ; 
 she died in the year 1827. It is also sometimes described as a portrait of the 
 wife of Mr. J. Jackson, the manager of the Edinburgh Theatre ; but it is much 
 more likely that the above description is the correct one. 
 
 Whole-length, turned to the right; standing by a fountain, into the falling water of

 least as to the lady being Mrs. Cosway, as the date of the print is seven years 
 before Mr. and Mrs. Cosway were married, and about four before she left Italy 
 to come to London.
