The Death of General Wolfe at Quebec (September, 1759)
After Edward Penny British
Publisher Robert Sayer and John Bennett British
Not on view
Penny painted several versions of the "Death of General Wolfe." The best known was exhibited at the Society of Artists in 1764 and is now at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. A smaller and slightly altered composition, now Petworth House, Sussex, was engraved by Richard Houston and published by R. Sayer in January 1772. The present mezzotint is later, oriented vertically rather than horizontally, and published by Sayer and Bennet, with the engraver not identified.
