This portrait was painted during his stay in England (January 1766 to May 1767). The engraver was Richard Purcell, who used the pseudonym Corbutt when pirating the works of others, often for Robert Sayer, in this case one by David Martin. Chaloner Smith was not a fan of Rousseau: in his entry for the Martin plate he writes Rousseau wrote ''plays and novels'' and ''published other works of a quasi philosophical character".

Jean-Jacques Rousseau (June 28, 1712 - July 2, 1778) was a Franco-Swiss philosopher of the Enlightenment whose political ideas influenced the French Revolution, the development of socialist theory, and the growth of nationalism. His legacy as a radical and revolutionary is perhaps best demonstrated by his most famous line in The Social Contract: 'Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains.' W: 2547-9.

Hubert von Herkomer was born in Germany in 1849, but his family moved to England before he was ten years old. After making his name drawing for the Graphic newspaper he made very good money as a portrait painter, which allowed him to produce social realist paintings for his own satisfaction. He opened his own art school and 1883, as well as acting as Slade Professor of Art between 1885 and 1895. Knighted in 1907, Heromer died in 1914. The original painting was donated to the Tate Gallery by the Artist in 1909.
