The Abbey from Tothill Street by James Millar

Distant view of the Abbey from Tothill Street; in the background right centre can be seen Hawksmoor's West Towers of the Abbey, in front of them lies the end of Tothill Street; on the north side of the street we see a 17th century shop and an 18th century shop with three bays and a four storey building of 18th century shops of eight bays; on the south side we can see a butcher's shop and a three bayed 18th century building with dormer windows; there are numerous frequenting chambermaids looking out of the top windows; shoppers and travellers stand in the street while a cart makes deliveries to the butcher.

Millar, James, c.1715-1792

Charles Abbot by Anna Tonelli

Half-length portrait on a much reduced scale; Abbott is turned to the right; he wears a white cravat and black coat; the background is grey; framed in an oval. Marked on back "Anna Tonelli" "Fece in Londra 1794" and "Charles Abbot 1st Lord Colchester". Charles Abbot 1st Lord Colchester would have been in his 40s at the time of painting so it is likely that either the artist or sitter is mis-attributed.

Tonelli, Anna, 1763-1846
