lie had found buyer he would send
them more money.
In order to make sure that the por-
trait was really that of the Iron Duke
the artist wrote and asked the dukes
great-grandson, Lord Gerald Welles-
ley I'd, son Of the present Duke of
Wellington, who was then stationed
in Italy, to come and decide whether
the .portrait was really one Of his
great-grandsire. Lord Gerald agreed
that it was the picture Of the duke
and 'resembled the miniature, as we'll
as a sketched portrait in the family
possession.
The portrait, as seen from the pho
tograph, is very wonderful, and the
color seems to have been preserved by
the black whiskers, which almost COW
cred the face.
The portrait is still unsold, but the
owner says that as the war has
ended and his monetary affairs are
flourishing he has almost decided
not to sell it. The uniform, which is
lacking, will be added, and perfect
pGture Of the duke will in future
hang@on the studio walls, overlooking
the green garden, unless some great
patron of art feels that the most won-
derfu1 pictu,e Goya ever painted should
be not only for the pleasure of it's
discoverer, but should hang in some
famous gallery.
