On his return he settled in Edinburgh; and, having attracted See also:attention by his See also:head of See also:Forbes of See also:Culloden and his full-length of the See also:duke of See also:Argyll, he removed to London, where he was patronized by the duke of See also:Bridgewater. His pleasant See also:manners and varied culture, not less than his See also:artistic skill, contributed to render him popular. In 1767 he was appointed to succeed Shakelton as See also:principal painter to the See also:- KING

His See also:life in London was varied by frequent visits to See also:Italy, where he occupied himself more in See also:literary and antiquarian See also:research than with art. But this prosperous career came to an end, his See also:health being shattered by an accidental dislocation of thg
right See also:arm. With unflinching pertinacity he struggled till he had completed a likeness of the king upon which he was engaged at the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.
