Summary
A full-length portrait of a man with a moustache, beard and dark skin; watercolour on paper. Wearing a white head-dress and a draped brown coat with red trimming revealing a blue undershirt. He has bare feet and holds the wheel of a ship connected to a plinth with both hands on the right.
Provenance
Lady Langford (née Legh) the daughter of the first Lord Newton, lived with Mrs Packer in her later years after they became friends when Mrs Packer managed a hotel for her. When Lady Langford died, she bequeathed some of her possessions to Mrs Packer. Mrs Packer gave the items to Lyme at various times but the information was not recorded properly at the time. Confirmed dates of arrival at Lyme are 1992, 1995 and 1999, but for some of the items, it is unclear which date they arrived.
