Early Victorian Portraits Catalogue

A painting by E. Long was exhibited RA, 1856 (476), possibly the unattributed painting in the collection of the Duke of Richmond; a painting called Greville (it seems unlikely that Greville is the young man in this portrait, which appears to date from the 1790s) by J. Hoppner is in the collection of the Duke of Richmond; Greville appears in 'Queen Victoria Presiding at her First Council' by Sir D. Wilkie in the Royal Collection, exhibited RA, 1838 (60), engraved by C. Fox, published F. G. Moon, 1839 (example in British Museum); a miniature by R. Cosway is listed by G. C. Williamson, Richard Cosway, R.A. (1897), p 119, as then in the collection of the Countess of Strafford; a lithograph by J. Brown, after a photograph by Mayall, is reproduced British Sports and Sportsmen, edited by 'The Sportsman' (1908), I, facing 27.
