Content Description

He is sending to England the portraits of Mr. Fawkener and Everard Fawkener; he apologises for their defects, as he had not much experience of working in oil; as they are unfinished he will take care to improve the paintings when he returns.

Verso: He has not had the time to begin his copy of the picture, but recommends a young man who has made copies for Mr. Fawkener; he cannot obtain a license to gain access to the painting as the Count de Spada lives in Bologna.
