William Somerville NPG 316a(113)

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Sir Francis Leggatt Chantrey

Somerville was the husband to scientist Mary Somerville, and a military surgeon and physician to the Royal Hospital, Chelsea (1819-38). This is a rare example of one of Chantrey's drawings showing a sitter in three-quarter profile, and does not appear to be connected to a marble bust. Chantrey sometimes made drawings simply to record the appearance of friends or visitors to his studio.

Card size: 125mm x 175mm

Images are printed in their original proportions, within a white border.
