Dealer Notes
Portrait after Thomas Beach of the East India Company merchant and financier, who died in India around 1770, brother of the printseller, Henry Bryer, who published many prints by Valentine Green, usually in conjunction with William Wynne Ryland, bust-length portrait in oval, facing right with eyes forward, in tricorn hat, braid edged coat and waistcoat, lettered only ‘Val. Green fecit’, a scratch-letter proof before title, the only fully recorded state though some early references suggest an unlettered state with the margin cleaned, or burnished, unlike this example or those in the National Portrait Gallery and the British Museum.
