What may be a companion portrait of the Rt. Hon. Daniel de la Touche of Marlay, shown facing left, was reproduced in Connoisseur, CIII, January 1939, p.11. Another pastel of Daniel la Touche by Hamilton, 8 x 6in., oval, facing right, shows him at a younger age (sold Christie's, 1 March 1985, lot 168, illustrated). He was of an Irish-French family and lived from 1720 until 1817. The first Governor of the Bank of Ireland, he married Elizabeth, daughter of the Rt. Rev. George Morley, Bishop of Dromore.
According to a typed label in French on the reverse of the frame, a smaller version of this drawing with differences belonged to E.J. Duveen.
