Picture: The Huntington
The Huntington Library in California has announced some new acquisitions, including a full length Jacobean portrait probably by Robert Peake, and the above portrait described as being Unknown 19th century British, Portrait of a Young Black Man, 1800–1820. It's oval and on an 8 inche high canvas, which reminds me of Thomas Hickey's similarly sized portraits. More details here.
