‘The Italian Connoisseur & the Tired Boy’ after the original by Henry Morland (1716-1797). This example is antique and has been naively painted in oil on metal panel, it has various cosmetic wear which it suits well.

Henry Morland exhibited the painting on which this example is based several times and In 1775 he published this description of it: ‘An Italian Connoisseur and tired boy. The connoisseur is an admirer of no pictures but Italian, therefore his taste is greatly affronted on being shown a Dutch picture; nevertheless his attention is engaged by some effect he sees in the landscape – has forgotten the boy, who is tired with holding the picture in a heavy frame, which he is just ready to drop.
