RH222
A pair of portraits of young ladies, c. 1700. Pen, ink and wash, on blue paper. From a former collection where they were attributed to Kneller which appears engraved on the mounts. These are more likely to be by one of Kneller’s studio assistants like Edward, or his Brother Robert, Byng. They were both studio assistant of sir Godfrey Kneller and held in high esteem by the artist.
