GEORGE ROMNEY (1734-1802)
Portrait of Emma Hamilton as ‘Absence’
Oil on Canvas, 49 3/16 x 39 inches, 125 cm x 99 cm
This is a full-sized study for the c 1787 oil painting in the National Maritime Museum. It has been brought back to its full glory thanks to the removal of later over-paint and discoloured varnish.
