Figure 1.--Here is a group of three children, said to be the children of Sir John Julian Angerstein (1808) There appears to be a second potrait is said to be Sir John Julian. We have little information on the family. The younger children weae white dresses, one with a pink bow. The boy wears a velvet suit. We are not sure if the yoingest child is a girl or boy.

If you look closely at the group portrait, the individual portrait seems to be a detail--the boy in the red jacket. This is a mystery I have yet to sort out. Not having the actual portraits to examine, we are unsure. The art dealer who advertised copies of the paintings couldn't explain the appelations. It could well be that the boy Sir Julian became Sir John Julian Agerstein, but he would not have held the title while his father was still alive. We suspect there is just one portrait and the individual portrait is just a reproduced detail copy.
