Benjamin West, P.R.A. (1738-1820)

The present drawing is presumably a study for a full-length portrait that has either disappeared or was never executed. For the proposed portrait of Lord Camden see H. von Erffa and A. Staley, The Paintings of Benjamin West, New Haven and London, 1986, no. 641, p. 582, n. 3.

We are grateful to Allen Staley for his help in preparing this catalogue entry.
