Description: | A portrait of William Hunter (1718-1783), founder of the Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, Glasgow, showing him standing with a pen in his hand at a table on which are a number of items including a preparation and a cast that hints at The Gravid Uterus, the publication which established his medical reputation. This is a copy of a painting by Sir Joshua Reynolds, and was painted after Hunter's death but the painter referred to head studies by Zoffany and Chamberlin and a death mask of Hunter in order to carry out the work. It has been suggested that this copy is painted by Zoffany. | Subjects: | portrait (Hunter William); still life; interior | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Zoffany, Johann (German painter, 1733-1810, active in England) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to after Reynolds, Joshua (English painter, writer, and collector, 1723-1792) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8485... | Go to resource |
