Dance-Holland spent more than a decade in Italy before returning to Britain where he became a noted portraitist. [2] He was a founder member of the Royal Academy and chose to exhibit this and a portrait of George III at the Academy's inaugural Summer Exhibition of 1769 at Somerset House. [3] Both paintings are now in the collection of the National Trust at Uppark House in West Sussex. [4]
