Image description

This portrait was painted for William Weddell, who is here shown wearing red, seated under a tree, indicating to his servant, Janson. William Palgrave, in blue, converses with him. Nathaniel Dance painted this in Rome, whilst Weddell was on his Grand Tour. Weddell apparently “[bought] such a quantity of pictures, marbles, etc. as will astonish the West Riding of Yorkshire.” The collection was destined for his house, Newby, which he had commissioned the Neo-Classical architect, Robert Adam, to enlarge. Adam also designed a gallery for the sculpture Weddell had acquired abroad. Dance was in Rome between 1754 and 1765, and from 1760 onwards he painted a number of groups of Englishmen on the Grand Tour. This, however, seems to have been the only portrait that he painted in the last year of his stay in Rome.
