- Scope and Content:
- Hart writes on behalf of himself and Charles Landseer, as representatives of the Council chosen to select a picture for Royal Academy students to copy for this year's competition. This year, Hart would like to request "a study of an Italian in the Royal Collection, called Aristo or Aretino." Hart is worried that there is little time left for the students to make their copy and suggests this work for its simplicity. If this work is not available, Hart suggests Joshua Reynolds's Portrait of Mrs Chambers.
