Description |
A man stands in profile. The image is a caricature of an 1817 portrait of Thomas Hall by the British artist Richard Dighton.
Hall was born in Philadelphia, but was ordained in England and served as the chaplain at the British factory in Leghorn (Livorno),
Italy after the Napoleonic Wars. Hall sold art and antiquities acquired in Europe to American institutions, perhaps provoking
the derisive caption,"Sell and Repent."
