Sir John Balcombe, Lord of Appeal by Barbara Robinson
Robinson, Barbara, 1928-
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
Pencil and gouache on paper, an oval portrait; Abbot as Scholar in the Second Election; he faces towards the left, wearing a blue suit.
Downman, John, 1750-1824
