Summary
| Description |
English: Bust length portrait of John Purling (1722-1800), in an oval. John Purling was a director of the East India Company. He was a candidate in the notoriously corrupt Shoreham Election of 1770, and was elected an MP in 1772.
Gainsborough moved to London in 1774. The lively brushwork of this portrait is typical of his late style. At this time, his usual fee for such a portrait was £31 10s. The subject is John Purling. He was a director of the East India Company and was elected an MP in 1772. |
