![[A Musical Assembly]](jpegs/61444.jpg)
[A Musical Assembly] Drawn by J. Farrer from the Original Picture by Hogarth.
Etched by G.Cruikshank [after Marcellus Laroon the Younger].
[n.d., 1819.]
Etching. Sheet 175 x 235mm (7 x 9¼"). Trimmed within plate, laid on album paper with letterpress title and description underneath.
The keyplate of a painting once believed to be by William Hogarth but is now attributed to Marcellus Laroon the Younger. It shows a fashionable salon during a 'musical assembly', with a key of 24 personages of whom only 12 are identified, with the central figure, '15', named as Lord Castlemain and '16' as Frederick, Prince of Wales (father of George III), with other members of the Royal Family. The letterpress describes how Hogarth painted the scene for Castlemain's house at Wanstead but was still in the painter's possession when he died. The painting, now in the Tate (T13316), is now attributed to Laroon (1679-1772) and the main figure identified as Charles Mordaunt (1658-1735), 3rd Earl of Peterborough, at a soirée at his house in Fulham. The only other identification the Tate suggests is the woman next to Mordaunt (14 here), ''possibly Anastasia Robinson, a distinguished singer then at the outset of her operatic career'', whom Mordaunt secretly married in 1722.
