This portrait of Michael Daintry was painted in 1813 by Sir Thomas Lawrence, one of the finest portrait artists of the time. It is currently for sale in the Mayfair gallery of Philip Mould (he of the Antiques Road Show expert fame) the price is unfortunately £120,000. Although the description says he is a 'boy sailor' Michael was actually 18 when he sat for the painting, making him infact a man.
