Half-length portrait of Sir Robert Williames Vaughan, Baronet (1804-1859), oil on canvas.

Sir Robert is holding a letter dated March 16th 1825 addressed to him at Balliol, Oxford. The college is shown to one side of the background with a classic column to the other.

(A companion painting in the National Library of Wales shows his father holding a letter bearing a Member of Parliament free stamp.). Signed on the front:

"S. Drummond. Pinxit. 1825"
On the reverse:
"Samuel Drummond ARA 1825".

The printed label of the artist (1785-1844) sealing the frame gives his scale of charges. Original gesso moulded frame.
