Portrait of George Graham ca. 1739 Thomas Hudson British In Hudson's busy studio, normally made preparatory designs for portraits, so few drawings by the artist survive. This engaging study relates to a painting of a leading clock and scientific instrument maker now at Sirburn Castle, part of the collection of the Earl of Macclesfield. The finished work shows a chair, table, and pendulum clock, and likely was commissioned around 1739, when Graham supplied scientific instruments to George Parker, 2nd Earl of Macclesfield. Around 1740, a mezzotint based on the painting was engraved by Thomas Ryl
