Looking for a photo, painting, print or statue with a picture of Thomas Vesey, lst Viscount de vesci. Help

Answer 1

A painting has recently come up at a

Canadian auction that is believed to be Vesey:

Quote:

The painting in Canada is a 58-x-71-cm portrait of a

distinguished, heavy-set man believed to be Thomas Vesey,

the 1st Viscount de Vesci, who lived in Ireland from 1735 to 1804.

***Edit:

There is also mention of a double portrait

of Vesey and his wife Selina Elizabeth Brooke

by Benjamin West.

(1760, British Art Center, Yale University,

Paul Mellon Collection.)

You could try to contact them for a

copy of it: See below.
