DescriptionFramed three-quarter length portrait of George Cleghorn (1716-1789), standing with his hand on an open book on the table beside him. Oil on canvas. By Mary Ann Hunter (c.1752-1779), signed. This portrait was presented to RCPI as being of William Hunter (1718-1783). However, recent research has established that this is unlikely and the sitter is more likely to be George Cleghorn.
