William Somerville Greetings Card

Regular price £4.00

Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

William Somerville NPG 1308

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Unknown artist

Crudely painted, possibly by a provincial hand, this portrait is the only version known. Despite the omission of the sitter's date of birth, the inscription on the reverse recording the gift of the portrait by Somerville to his friend and neighbour, Christopher Wren, son of the eminent architect, is acceptable.
More detailed information on this portrait is available in a National Portrait Gallery collection catalogue, John Kerslake's Early Georgian Portraits (1977, out of print).

Card size: 125mm x 175mm

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