Description
Engraving after painting by John Wootton once in the Little Dressing Room at Houghton Hall, Norfolk, England. The painting does not seem to have been included in the sale to Catherine II of Russia, although it was engraved for the volume of prints. Present location of the painting is unknown, but it may be one of three overdoor paintings still in situ at Houghton Hall. Print removed from George P. Marsh’s copy of The Houghton Gallery, vol. 2.
