CHINNERY (Continuation)
The best-known self portrait of Chinnery (also in oils) shows him painting as in this one, but with his easel and the wall in the background included. It shows his whole figure, seated. The picture is in the National Portrait Gallery, London. A tinted pencil drawing, also a self-portrait, hangs temporarily in H. K. University (Chater collection) so it may be assumed that Chinnery, who painted several portraits of some clients, also did several of himself.
