Oh, and if you get the job let's try and work out who painted this. It was previously catalogued as a portrait of William Kent, an identification which has since been dismissed it seems. It reminds me of the figures painted by Gawen Hamilton, but, perhaps I need to think again. All suggestions are welcomed.
