Summary
Pastel on paper, Peter Richard Hoare (1772-1849) or Henry Merrik Hoare (1770-1852) as a Child with a Cat by William Hoare of Bath, RA (Eye 1707 – Bath 1792). Oval. A small child, seated, facing, dressed in white, a cat on his lap. Apparently the youngest of the children shown, this would not therefore be, as inscribed on the reverse, Henry Merrick Hoare (1770-1856), but would show Peter Richard Hoare, if, however, appearances deceive, and this is not the youngest but the penultimate child, then this must be Henry Merrick Hoare as inscribed.
