About This Book

A room-by-room catalogue of a country-house portrait collection presenting numbered entries that describe each painting's sitter, artist attribution, provenance, physical appearance, and brief biographical sketches. Entries trace family relationships, inheritances, and historical context, and include anecdotal and documentary notes on sitters and artists. An introductory preface recounts the author's research methods, obstacles, and gratitude for assistance, and occasional commentary stresses the importance of preserving portrait records for family memory and local history.
