Note du spécialiste

It has been suggested that one of the portraits depicts Dr Robert Perceval (1756-1839), Physician-General to His Majesty's forces in Ireland and Professor of Chemistry at Trinity College, however the apparent age of the sitters suggests this may be erroneous. They may however be other members of the Perceval-Maxwell family from Dublin.
