...and he kept his Devonshire accent throughout his life! He was a central Georgian character-known and admired by all
And a wonderful painter!
Thanks for this. As I'm sure you know, there's a fine collection of his paintings at Kenwood House, alongside Rembrandt, Gainsborough etc.
I think a trip is in order!
...and wonderful Reynolds at Port Eliot. The Eliots were both friends and Patrons to Sir Joshua. He was one of those Georgians I would have loved to meet.
One of my dream Georgians too!
