专家说明

John Henderson was an actor and amateur artist, as well as a collector, who met with an informal club of artists, writers and actors in the back parlour of The Feathers public house near Leicester House. Having begun his career in Bath, he counted Thomas Gainsborough as a good friend before arriving in London, and it was perhaps inevitable that his circle would grow to include Henry Fuseli and John Hamilton Mortimer among others. A portrait of him by Gainsborough is in the National Portrait Gallery, London, and his library and collection were sold in 1786. The use of the Greek version of Fuseli's name reflects on the artist's pride in his knowledge of the classics.
