Henry Bunbury Esq-r., Youngest Son of the late Sir William Bunbury ca. 1769 Thomas Blackmore Blackmore's print is based on a portrait by Reynolds and shows the subject at the age of fifteen or sixteen, holding a portfolio in a landscape (the related painting of 1765-66 is untraced). Bunbury's artistic gifts were evident from youth, as he amused fellow students with humorous drawings at Westminster School, London, then at St. Catharine's College, Cambridge. As the younger son of Sir William Bunbury, 5th Baronet, Bunbury's income as an adult came mostly from serving the Duke of York as equerry.
