Description | The lists of engagements on these pages have not been titled, although they do follow the format of Professional Engagements listed throughout the book.
Entries run in chronological order from 15 January 1789 to January 1790 (further entries for January 1790 continue to GRO/1/7). There are no entries for March and June 1789, although Kidson's catalogue raisonne refers to General Lambton's portrait being delivered home 9 May 1789.
Portraits referenced in the Engagements Book have been verified against Alex Kidson's 2015 catalogue raisonne of Romney's paintings, and where possible have been listed below to include full names and correct spelling in square brackets. Duplicate mentions of the same sitter have been removed from the below list, which otherwise appears in original order.
