Gentleman
The great hall: hier könnte auch William Wade, also Thomas Gainsboroughs Gemälde des Captains der englischen Navy, des Zeremonienmeisters oder Protokollchefs hängen, wenn es nicht woanders hängen müsste, nämlich in der Victoria Art Gallery.
In der großen (Eingangs-)Halle hängen gerade 10 Portraits und Doppelportraits im großen Stil. Gainsbororoughs Doppelportrait der Hallets und ihres Hundes, dessen Wischmopphaftigkeit derjenigen von Mrs. Hallets Frisur kaum nachsteht, hängt hier gleich ums Eck: links neben Drouais' Portrait des Comte de Vaudreuil.
Nahezu alle Portraits stammen aus der Phase, der Thomas Vesting in seiner Geschichte und Theorie der Rechtssubjekte die Figur des Gentleman zugeordnet hat (und die er mit William Wades Bild illustriert hat.
Wie singen die Groben in England zu dem Portrait?
All at once I was struck with the portrait of Wade,
Which tho’ like him in feature tis much too tall made
And looks, like its master – ashamed of its trade
For it’s drawn as if walking alone in the fields
In a jauntee undress which the present mode yields
Uncovered – as tho he intended to bow
To an ox or an ass – to a heffer or cow.
