Object history
This portrait was believed to be of George Loddiges (1786 - 1846) as a young man by artist John Renton, until September 2026. It is now likely that this is not George and further research needs to be undertaken to identify the sitter, and though it is in the style of Renton, this is also to be confirmed.
This painting is believed to be from the original collection of Alexander Chalmers, however more research needs to be undertaken to confirm this.
