V. Green, Hugh Earl Percy. London: V. Green, 21 Jan
1777.
Osher Collection, Osher Map Library.
This portrait was engraved by Green from a portrait given by the duke to the
Magistrates
of Westminster; it was actually derived from an earlier portrait of Earl Percy, done in
Rome when Percy was on the Grand Tour in 1763-64 (see Cumming & Cumming 1969),
the major difference being a change of uniform. |
