Dated 1836, this is a replica of the marble bust of Charles Long, 1st Baron Farnborough (1760–1838), commissioned in 1819 by the sitter’s father-in-law, Sir Abraham Hume. The original was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1820 and is now in the National Portrait Gallery, London. Who commissioned Chantrey to produce this replica and why remains a mystery, but it was paid for in 1842 by one of Lord Farnborough’s nephews, by which point both Chantrey and Farnborough had died. Charles Long was a Tory politician and a promoter and patron of the arts, active on the ‘Committee of Taste’ and a founding governor of the British Institution and a Trustee of both the British Museum and the National Gallery. He was made Paymaster General and created baron on his retirement in 1826.
