Title
Autograph letter signed from David Garrick to Revd. Richard Kaye, Kirkby, Nottinghamshire [manuscript], 1766 January 2.
Description
2 leaves ; 23 x 19 cm
Scope and content
Thanks Kaye for a Christmas gift and provides an update on a borrowed painting: "Yr. Picture has not yet been out of my house, for the Copyer is so busy, he can't begin till [th]e latter End of next Week..."
Note
With integral address leaf.
The borrowed painting was presumably Pompeo Batoni's portrait of Garrick (now at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford), which Garrick commissioned in Italy as a gift for Kaye, in exchange for an antique gem that Kaye had found at the Baths of Caracalla. At least two copies of the portrait are known.
