PORTRAITS BY GEORGE DANCE, R.A. SINCE the publication of an article which I contributed to the Magazine of Art of October, 1898, I have drawn up a list of the portraits sketched in pencil by George Dance, with some clue as to their present where abouts. The majority of these portraits came under the hammer at Christie's on 1 July, 1898. A mere glance at the following list will show its extraordinary interest and variety. In many instances these profile portraits are the only ones known to exist; and in any case this list will have a unique value to a large number of future inquirers. In addition to the facts already published concerning George Dance, Mr. Joseph J. Green, of Salisbury Gardens, Tunbridge Wells, has obligingly furnished me with a good many other particulars. Dance married into a Quaker family, his wife being Mary, daughter of Thomas Gurnell, Esq., of the Manor House, Ealing Green, the event taking place on 24 March, 1772. Dance took a leading part in connexion with the banquet at the Guildhall to the allied sovereigns (see Gent. Mag., 1814, part ii. 179). The Gent. Mag., 1791, part i. 493, states that he also painted (sketched) a portrait of Francis
