Content Description

The page contains thumbnail sketches of seven portraits sent by Gainsborough to the exhibition, with a note that the frame of one of them, that of the princesses, could only be sent with the picture, as there was to be a royal private view at Buckingham House, before it was sent to the Royal Academy.
