專家說明

The artist George Smart (d.1846) was by trade a tailor in the village of Frant, near Tunbridge Wells in Kent. He made pictures and figures out of scraps of left-over cloth. He became very popular and supplied pictures to Queen Victoria's uncle, the Duke of Sussex. His pictures often included portraits of local figures.
