Pastel on paper, unsigned.

48 x 38 in. (sight), 63 x 58 in. (frame).

Note: The plaque on the frame attributes this portrait to Hugh B. Hamilton, however it is more likely the Irish artist Hugh Douglas Hamilton (c. 1739-1808). It was offered in these rooms in 2008 as Attributed to Ozias Humphrey (1742-1810). Neither attribution has been supported.
