Painted by Pierre Subleyras in 1746, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 96.5x73.7 cm and is currently housed at Leeds Museums and Art Galleries in Temple Newsam House, UK. Horatio Walpole was not only a man of letters but also an intellectual with a profound influence on society during his time.
