Print. The supposed Jackson connection of this item is for resolution, especially since signed 'AR Burt'. This is Albin Roberts Burt (1783-1842) and what may be the original signed and framed drawing - thought to be done in pencil from life on a silk napkin or handkerchief cut down to 4.5 cm in diameter- was sold by Charles Miller auctions, London, on 8 November 2016 for £14,000. Report in the 'Antiques Trade Gazette' of 26 November (p. 31, ill.) stated that Burt's 'brother, Henry Frederick Burt, was secretary to the admiral, his mother was a close friend of Emma Hamilton and he himself was well acquainted with Sir William Hamilton. Burt began his life as an engraver, training under Robert Thew and Benjamin Smith, but finding himself unable to excel in this field, branched into painting portraits.' The report also stated that 'the likeness is not recorded in any format' and that it is not listed in Richard Walker's 'The Nelson Portraits' (1998). Burt engraved the image of Lady Hamilton as Britannia mourning before Thaller and Ranson's bust of Nelson (Walker p.107) and published R.S. Syer's mezzotint of the 1798 Abbott portrait of Nelson in about 1804, from his premises at 18 St John's Lane, Clerkenwell (Walker p. 207), but the only thing Walker lists of Nelson by Jackson is the head of one of many oil copies of the Abbott portrait (p.208). This may therefore be a print by Burt after his own drawing, with the Jackson link simply a mistake written on it in previous ownership. Given that Walker seems to have missed it, it is also a rare item: neither the National Portrait Gallery nor British Museum hold copies. [PvdM 4/17]
