Porträt des Henry Dawkins
um 1751
London, National Gallery, Saal 17a (Inventar-Nr. NG5118)
Henry Dawkins
The sitter's noticeable wealth is a direct result of his ownership of numerous Jamaican plantations and at least 1,464 enslaved people. The style of his wig and costume - whose bright crimson colour has faded - date this portrait to about 1751.
