"this miniature was painted sometime between 1795 and 1808 when shelley was living in great st. George street, hanover square. The stylistically old-fashioned appearance of this miniature for this period of his career may be explained by the fact that shelley was copying a painting by thomas hudson. The sitter is the grandson of sir robert walpole, 1st earl of orford. He is seen here wearing the uniform of the inniskilling dragoons. ". Date: 18th century. Medium: watercolor and gouache on ivory.
