Full-length, turned to the left, looking to the front. He is dressed in a peer's full robes. His left hand is on his hip, his right holds a scroll of paper. He is bareheaded, face close-shaven, and his hair short. Behind him is a red curtain, and in the distance on the left a statue of Hercules. On canvas, 8 ft. 3 in. high, by 5 ft. 2 in. wide. Behind is written:--"Received, 7th April, 1810, from Mrs. Hoppner." The duke, who was born in 1765, died on March 2nd, 1802. "More dignified and well painted than the similar one at Woburn."--_Sir George Scharf._ 91 Francis Hastings, Earl of Moira (_950_) . . . . . HOPPNER. Full-length, figure slightly to the right, but the face turned round to the left. Dressed in uniform, with the Ribbon and Star of the Garter. His right hand holds a scroll of paper by his side; his left rests on a document on a table. Background, a green curtain, and sky on the right. On canvas, 7 ft. 10 in. high, by 4 ft. 10 in. wide. Behind is painted "R.A. 1794," the year of Hoppner's election, and "The Star and Garter added 1812," in June of which year Lord Moira, after failing to form a ministry, accepted the Garter, "but," says Lord Spencer in a letter to Lord Buckingham, "whether as a calm to his honour or his understanding, it is not for me to say." This picture was received from Hoppner's widow, in June, 1810, a few months after his death. 92 Portrait of John Hely, Lord Hutchinson (_872_) . . . . . PHILLIPS, R.A. Three-quarters length, seated, turned to the left, and looking downwards. His left leg is crossed over his right, and in his left hand he holds a map of Egypt; his right holds an eyeglass on his breast. He is in his uniform. In front of him on a table are writing materials. On canvas, 4 ft. high, by 3-1/2 ft. wide. John Hely was born in 1757, and in 1774 went into the army. In the expedition to Egypt in 1801 he was appointed second in command to Sir Ralph Abercrombie; on whose death the chief command devolved on Hely, then a major-general. For his admirable conduct of the campaign, in which he drove the French from Egypt, he received the thanks of both Houses, and was raised to the peerage in 1813. In 1823 he succeeded his brother to the earldom of Donoughmore. He died in 1832. 93 Christian VII. of Denmark (_976_) . . . . . DANCE. A head, in an oval, turned to the right; dressed in a red uniform trimmed with gold; on his breast a blue ribbon. His hair is powdered and brushed back. This was formerly unnamed, but the mezzotint engraving after it by Fisher shows it to have been painted by Dance; doubtless when the King was over here in 1767 for his marriage to Princess Matilda. He was then eighteen years old.
