Painting by Samuel Drummond, half-length oval, engraved J. Chapman 1796 (European Mag.).

Drawing by George Dance, see NPG 3900.
c.1803
Painting by Adam Buck, half-length oval, engraved W. Ridley 1803 (Monthly Mirror). The painter’s name beneath the engraving is badly scratched; it has also been read, unconvincingly, as Adam Buck (but see W. Strickland, Dictionary of Irish Artists, 1913, I, p 119).
1809
Engraving by T. Blood, half length (for Mrs Inchbald, Collection of Farces, 1809). The head compares with that drawn by Dance, NPG 3900.
