Mary Robinson or “Perdita,” 1781

Two portraits of Grace Dalrymple Elliott. I think both are beautiful, although this bottom image does not do the portrait justice. Both portraits circa 1778. 

There are many more, but I grow weary. I will put a few of the Prince Regent himself…Gainsborough got him when he was young and good looking. Other artists had to be VERY kind to him.

1782 with same saddle as John Hayes St. Ledger (the Prince commissioned the painting of his friend and it is still in the Royal Collection).
