Thomas Chatterton Manuscript Project
Manuscripts are best viewed on a Laptop or PC.
(Tablets/Mobiles are for day-trips to the seaside)
A portrait of a boy reading, by Joshua Reynolds.
The date of the painting is unsure, I have seen it estimated as 1747.
So the search for a verified portrait of Chatterton continues.
If you had to choose one, perhaps this one would fit the bill.
