Mr Keightley was Archibald Keightley (1795-1877), who was a solicitor who was the executor for Sir Thomas Lawrence, who had died earlier in 1830. Mr Keightley was responsible for the sale of Sir Thomas's collections, some of which were not paid for! For genealogicial details for Mr Keightley, see https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LLS6-ZX6. (You will need to create a free FamilySearch account to access this page.)
There is a very interesting story about Sir Thomas's collection of old master drawings which were part of the assets Mr Keightley had
to dispose of . Contact me on [email protected] if you would like further information.
Following his work as a solicitor, Mr Keightley a few years later became the Registrar for the Charterhouse School, where he remained for 39 years.
