Description |
English: The sitter is shown is his study, reading a letter dated 1784 from Benjamin Franklin, a close friend of Price over many years.Price recorded sitting for the portrait in his short-hand journal. The journal is now in the collection of the Nationial Library (NLW MS 20721A). This portrait is the only official image of this highly important moral philosopher. There exist three versions: this present oil painting, a contemporary version now at the Royal Society and a 19th century copy in the Collection of the National Museum of Wales.
The frame was specially commissioned using funds provided by the Friends of the Library. It is a Maretti, gilded frame in a style contemporary with the painting. |
