| Object history | Registered File number 1995/1446. Historical significance: Mary Linwood's crewelwork copies of old master paintings achieved great fame from the time of her first London exhibition in 1787. One one occasion, her copy after a Salvator Rosa painting was sold for more than the original painting. Her exhibition in Leicester Square was the first art exhibition to be illuminated by gas light. John Constable's first commissioned work was to paint the background details in one of her works. |
