- Curator's comments
- After the picture now in the Tate Collection, possibly the same that was exhibitied at the Royal Academy, London in 1774 (No. 316). Edward Rooker died in November 1774, the plate was presumably completed by his son, although according to the DNB he engraved little after his father's death.
