Sitter Charles Burney British
Not on view
Bartolozzi here reproduces a well-regarded portrait by Reynolds of Dr. Charles Burney, a musicologist who wrote a "General History of Music" (1776–89). He was the father of the novelist Fanny Burney. Shown half-length, the sitter wears the silk hood and gown of a Doctor of Music at Oxford University and the related painting was made for Henry Thrale's Library at Stretham Park, later sold with the contents of the house, and now is at the National Portrait Gallery, London.
