Description: Two couples in 18th century dress in the portrait gallery. One couple, the man standing and the woman sitting, are in front of George Romney's Rose (Gardiner) Milles (1780-1783). The other couple, both standing, are to the left of Thomas Gainsborough's Jonathan Buttall: the blue boy (1770). The bronze sculpture beneath "Blue Boy" is Mercure (Mercury) by an unknown foundry, after Antoine Coysevox, made between 1700 and 1710. Label accompanying photograph in album reads "HEH 28 New Gallery, Huntington Art Gallery. Portraits visible are "The Blue Boy" by Gainsborough, and "Mrs. Jeremiah Milles" by Romney."
