On canvas, 2 ft. 1 in. high, by 1 ft. 8 in. wide. Signed on the left-hand side:--"_C. Robineau 1780._" Charles Frederick Abel was a pupil of Bach's, and at one time belonged to the royal band at Dresden. He came to England about 1765, and was appointed master of Queen Charlotte's band. Although he wrote music, he was more celebrated for his playing than his compositions. Abel was a very passionate man, and much addicted to the bottle,--peculiarities which the visitor would suspect him of, from his flushed face and red nose. He died in 1787, after being three days in a sort of drunken torpor. Robineau was a portrait-painter who practised in Paris and London. 102 Duchess of Brunswick, Sister of George III . . . . . A.
