| Description |
Some foxing to margins. Line engraving after a portrait by William Hogarth (1697-1764), originally engraved by James Basire (1730-1802). Morell is depicted half-length seated at a table, facing left, wearing a partly buttoned jacket, cravat and wide-brimmed hat. On the table are four books, sheets of paper (one with 'Aet. 60', the other with 'THESARUS') and an ink pot; Morell is about to use his right hand to write with a quill. He is seated on a chair, a curtain is draped from the top centre to behind the chair and in the top left corner are some organ pipes. From behind the curtain appears a coat of arms and below that a medal on a thread hangs from the wall. The letters after Morell's name refer to his Professorship of Sacred Theology and to being Secretary of the Society of Antiquaries. Hogarth's original drawing of 1762 is in the Horne Collection in Florence. |
