A Ghost. L'Apparition.
Painted by R. Westall. Engrav'd by Schiavonetti.
London, Pub.d March 1. 1791, by T Simpson St. Paul's Church Yard.
Stipple, printed in colours. Framed, sight size 230 x 255mm (9 x 10". Unexamined out of frame.
Two girls huddle, one points, in fear of a "ghost", which is in fact a young boy playing around with a sheet over his head. As the pair, 'The Mask' after Joshua Reynolds, depicted two of the daughters of George Spencer, 4th Duke of Marlborough (who owned the painting), it is likely these are also his children.
