Portrait of Sir Francis Baring, with his Brother and his Son-in-Law, Edward McInnes, after Thomas Lawrence, 1841
mezzotint, h 301mm × w 435mm More details
In 1807 Thomas Lawrence immortalized the fabulously wealthy, influential banker Sir Francis Baring, his older brother John, and his son-in-law Charles Wall. Sir Francis had been partly deaf since childhood and had no objection to being portrayed as such. Evidently the painting was still so popular in 1841 that it was worth-while reproducing it in print.
