Franz Joseph Haydn 1732-1809 by John Hoppner 1791
"The picture was not quite finished when Haydn left England; it was, however, so striking a likeness of this extraordinary man, that the Prince of Wales, for whom it was painted, would not permit Hoppner to touch it after his departure, and the portrait is now in his Royal Highness's possession." – Quarterly Review, Volume 18 (1818)
