Dr. Arne.

Dr. Arne.

Engrav'd by J. Heath, from an Original Drawing by E.F. Burney, Esqr.
[n.d., c.1810.]
Engraving, sheet 310 x 215mm. 12¼ x 8½". Trimmed to plate and laid on to album page.
Thomas Augustine Arne (1710 - 1778), composer, in a small oval on the side of a pedestal supporting an urn, from which a flaming phoenix emerges. Arne's most famous work is the patriotic song, 'Rule, Britannia!'. He is buried at St Paul's, Covent Garden, London. This portrait, after Robert Dunkarton (1744 - 1811?), was probably a frontispiece to a posthumous edition of one of his works.
