Image description

Henry Bankes (1757-1834) Member of Parliament for Corfe; painting in the library at Kingston Lacy; Henry Bankes the younger, had this portrait of him done for his mother whilst he was on his Grand Tour in Rome in 1779 by the most famous portrait painter there at the time, Pompeo Batoni. However, he thought it: ‘a melancholy cold picture, whose only merit is being simple and having nothing offensive’. On his return, he expanded Kingston Hall, which later became Kingston Lacy. He married the society beauty, Frances Woodley in 1784.
