Portrait of a young boy sitting facing the viewer and holding a flower, a terrier beside at right with sad expression. A dramatic mask with snake lies on the ground in the left foreground, sea behind. By sweet-talking a nursery-servant, Rennett kidnapped the three-year-old son of his first cousin, who had inherited an estate that Rennett felt should have been his. He absconded to Germany, where he was apprehended and brought back to England. Found guilty, Rennett was sentenced to seven years’ transportation to Australia.
