拍品专文

Although nothing is known about the MacGregor family, the gold setting and heraldic arms engraved upon the seal worn at Mr MacGregor's waist, allude to the gentility of the couple. Maclise exhibited approximately thirty portraits or portrait groups at the Royal Academy between 1830 and 1832. His sitters included Princess Sophia and Sir Walter Scott.
