To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is probable that this is the portrait of Dupont that was in the collection of the late George Richmond, R. A. , and described, when sold at Christie's in 1897, as " the last work of the painter. " Sir W'ilham Richmond, however, does not know any- thing of its history, except that Mr. George Richmond bought it some time in the Fifties. This portrait is now in the collection of Lord D'Abernon of Esher. The land- scape already referred to as having been painted during the last illness of Gainsb...orough was sold by his wife a year after his death. A chronicler of 1789 says: "The landscape which received his last touch has been pur- chased by Mr. Tyrwhitt ; it is in a mixed style between Gainsborough's manner and that of Poussin. " Mr. Tyrwhitt was a collector who owned several of Gains- borough's works besides this last landscape. A few days after the funeral some paragraphs appeared stating that all Gainsborough's pictures, except those already bespoken, were to be sold by auction, but these statements proved to be unauthorised.
