1795
Painting by Sir W. Beechey. Eton College, Windsor.
Reproduced L. Cust, Eton College Portraits (1910), plate XXIV, facing p 46.
1828
Drawing by Count A. D'Orsay. Sotheby's, 13 February 1950 (lot 216), bought Colnaghi.
1832
'Society of Antiquaries', engraving by D. Maclise, published Fraser's Magazine, V (May 1832), 474-5.
1835
Painting by T. Phillips. Collection of John Murray.
Exhibited RA, 1835 (143) and SKM, 1868 (493). Listed in Phillips' 'Sitters Book' (copy of original MS, NPG archives), under 1835. Engraved by H. Cousins, published Welch and Gwynne, 1841 (example in NPG), and also etched by Mrs Dawson Turner (where the portrait is said to have been painted in 1834) (example in NPG). Two identical versions: (1) Collection of the Lennard family, exhibited VE, 1892 (244); (2) Clevedon Court. A tracing after the portrait by G. P. Harding is in the NPG.
1843
Drawing by G. Richmond. Formerly collection of the Lennard family.
Exhibited SKM, 1868 (408), and VE, 1892 (371). Engraved by W. Holl (example in NPG), where the drawing is erroneously said to have been executed in 1852. In his 'Account Book' (photostat copy, NPG archives), Richmond lists two drawings under the years 1842 and 1844, and mentions touching up the proof, presumably for Holl's engraving, in 1851. The drawing above is, however, clearly dated 1843.
