[2] The Linley Family of Bath were well-known musical performers, connected with the theatre.

[3] George III reputedly joked that Linley needed a haircut.

That painting's success at the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition led to Lawrence's establishment as a leading society portraitist.

Today it is part of the collection at Dulwich Art Gallery in South London.
