拍品专文

Francis Cotes, the elder brother of the miniaturist Samuel Cotes (1734-1818), was born in London in 1726 and apprenticed to George Knapton (1698-1778) in the early 1740s. In his portraits after 1764, the draperies are often by Peter Toms, who also worked for Reynolds. From 1765, when he took a large house at 32 Cavendish Square, he was the most fashionable portrait painter after Reynolds and Gainsborough. He was a member of the Society of Artists and later a founding member of the Royal Academy.
