83. Portrait of Signor Amaggia, a Genoese, when about
fifty-five years of age. The face is seen in a three-quarter
view, having short brown hair, mustachios, and a tuft of
beard. He is habited in a black dress and a cloak of the
same colour, relieved by a square-shaped white frill; he is
represented standing with a letter in his right hand, on which
is inscribed “Al Signor Amaggia, Vandick, Genoa.” The
left hand, holding an eye-glass, rests on a table covered with
a yellow cloth, on which lies his hat. This once excellent
portrait has been shorn of much of its original beauty, by the
hand of an ignorant cleaner.

84. Portrait of Lord Banning, represented standing,
