| Object history | The painting was produced in Rome whilst its subject was there but, in being shipped back from there to England on board the British frigate HMS Westmoreland, it was seized by the French. It was later sold by them to Charles III of Spain, and is now in the Prado. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Exhibition history | From February to May 2008 it was on loan to the National Gallery, London for their Batoni exhibition. In 2012 the portrait was again on loan as part of an exhibition encompassing many of the art works which were on the Westmoreland. This exhibiton was first displayed at the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford University and subsequently traveled to the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven, Connecticut in the United States. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
