Lady Philadelphia Wharton (1594-1654) was the daughter of 1st Earl of Monmouth and the mother of Philip Wharton Robert Dunkarton (c.1744-1811) initially produced portraits in oils and crayons. He exhibited these at the Royal Academy and the Society of Artists from 1774 until 1779, after which he concentrated on printmaking. One of his last commissions was from J.M.W. Turner, for whom he provided the mezzotint ground for five of the plates for his Liber Studiorum, published in 1811-12. Sir Anthony Van Dyck (1599-1641) was a Flemish artist who became the leading court painter in England. He is most famous for his portraits of Charles I of England and his family and court. Appointed court painter by Charles I of England in 1632, he was knighted later the same year. Chaloner Smith 40 iii/vi, Russell 40, O'Donoghue 1, Lennox-Boyd iii/vi Ex. Col.: Hon.
