Description | Entries from pages 26v-27 run in chronological order from 16 December 1791 to September 1792, although the entry for September is illegible due to previous water damage. (For further 1791 entries, please refer to GRO/1/8 or pages 23-26r.)
The lists of engagements on these pages have not been titled, although they do follow the format of Professional Engagements listed throughout the book and further references to payments are recorded in these pages.
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. Entries in square brackets alone do not cohere with the catalogue raisonne and appear as written. Duplicate mentions of the same sitter have been removed from the below list, which otherwise appears in original order.
