This work is a copy of a pastel oval portrait of General Brock that is supposedly the only known portrait of Brock to be done in his lifetime. The original was by William Berczy, circa1808, and is in the possession of Captain M.H.T Mellish, a descendant of one of Brock’s sisters. The canvas was previously mounted on a surface that was not acid free, and 4 holes are present from a previous frame.
