The left hand is unfinished. John Gwyn R.A. was a native of Shrewsbury. He died in Worcester in 1776, and appears to have been about fifty-five years old when the portrait was painted (Manners and Williamson, 1920, p. 233). | Subjects: | John) portrait (Gwyn | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Zoffany, Johann (German painter, 1733-1810, active in England) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8407... | Go to resource |
