(In the collection of the Earl of Durham)

In painting this portrait (for which he is said to have received
£600) Lawrence was happy in his sitter. The child has good looks
and a very intelligent face, but unfortunately he is over-posed.
One misses the simplicity, the natural attitude, the spontaneous
gesture, found in portraits of children by Sir Joshua, and feels
that although Lawrence made an attractive picture, his sitter
has been made too self-conscious for childhood.]
