Portrait by Sir Joshua Reynolds

Worth referring to this, if the attribution (by National Maritime Museum) stands up. Painters sometimes delegated part of a work, and his ship Salisbury in the background may have been delegated to a technical draughtsman. That wouldn't for me damage the attribution, and I understand the Reynolds & Edgcumbe families knew each other - natural then for Sir J to commemorate Sir George's prowess as captain. It's a splendid portrait that would look well on page, if NMM will grant permission. Refs in text. Grahamsands ( talk) 14:48, 24 August 2010 (UTC) reply
