Bust portrait of Edward Wortley Montagu (1713 - 1776), writer and traveller; son of traveller Lady Mary Wortley Montagu. He wears a turban and long beard. Edward Wortley Montagu was a traveller, linguist and eccentric. He was much influenced by his childhood visit to Constantinople with his parents between 1716-18. Using his inheritance as security against his creditors he left England permanently in 1762 and travelled in the Middle East as an enthusiastic archaeologist for a little over a decade. In 1773, Edward settled in Venice and lived, according to one of his contemporaries, with 'the manners, habit and magnificence of a Turk.'
