- Curator's comments
- After the head in one of the versions of Thomas Hudson's portraits - the best known is in the National Portrait Gallery. This print suggests that there may be another untraced Hudson, probably of higher quality than the one on the NPG. (Martin Hopkinson, via email, December 2017).
