Description
English:

In 1789–90 there is reason to believe he made a visit to London ... It must have been about this time that his portrait was painted by the young and rising artist, Thomas Lawrence, afterwards celebrated as the President of the Royal Academy. The photograph of this portrait which accompanies this sketch hardly does justice to the painting, which is an exquisite specimen of color. Col. Frank M. Etting, in a letter to the author of this memoir, dated March 15, 1877, referring to the portrait of George Meade which had been loaned to the Historical Department of the International Exhibition of 1876, writes "The head of George Meade has been universally admired by the best judges - if premiums were awarded, it would have secured the very first as a work of art though Kneller, Lely, Stuart and West were all fairly represented. " According to the tradition received by the author this portrait was painted for John Barclay ... and subsequently came into the possession of Richard Worsam, son of George, from whom it descended to the present owner, the author of this memoir.
