Two of the children of William Amherst, 1st Earl Amherst, with a dog: the eldest son Jeffrey (1802-26) and Sarah Elizabeth (1801-76). Jeffrey died suddenly in Barrackpore, while his father was leading the Anglo-Burmese War (1824-6); Sarah also travelled to India with her parents, being a painter and botanical illustrator, known under her married name of Hay-Williams.

S.r John Fielding, K.t.
Hone pinx.t. M.c Ardell fecit.
Sold by C. Marsh at Charing Cross and R. Withy in Cornhill.
Rare mezzotint, sheet 395 x 290mm (15½ x 11½"). Trimmed and glued to album paper. Some surface dirt, creasing and some light foxing at edges.
Three quarter seated portrait of Sir John Fielding (1721-1780), English magistrate and social reformer. He rests his left hand on the 'Holy Bible' and 'Statuits at Large Magna Charta' and his right holds a rolled document labelled 'Plan of' on his knee. He wears a dark coat with narrow embroidered trim along edge and cuffs, over an embroidered waistcoat and a narrow dark band just above his closed eyes. Despite being blinded in a navy accident aged 19, Fielding set up his own business and, in his spare time, studied law. He worked very closely with his half-brother Henry Fielding (a chief magistrate as well as a novelist), creating the first professional police force, the Bow Street Runners. Known as the "Blind Beak", he could allegedly recognise three thousand criminals by the sounds of their voices.
