Thomson sculp.
London Published by Henry Colburn & Co. Conduit Street, Decr. 1st. 1820.

Benjamin Robert Haydon (1786-1846), History painter and diarist. A friend of Wordsworth, Keats and Lamb, Haydon was convinced of his own towering genius but, apart from a couple of successes, his career as a history painter was ultimately a failure. Unwilling to compromise his ideals, he was endlessly in debt and was driven to suicide in 1846.
