Tilleman painted numerous portraits of race- 

 horses for his patrons, among whom were the 

 Dukes of Somerset, Rutland, and Bolton, and the 

 Earl of Portmore. A set of twenty-five copper 

 plates, 7 J- inches deep and 8|- inches wide, were 

 engraved by R. Parr from portraits of race-horses 

 by Tilleman and his contemporary, John Wootton. 



He suffered much from asthma, and for this 

 reason selected Richmond as his place of resi- 

 dence. The malady, however, was never shaken 

 off and he died at Norton, in Suffolk, on 5th 

 December, 1734, in the fiftieth year of his age. 



A portrait of the artist, engraved by T. Cham- 

 bers, from a painting by Hissings, is given (opp. 

 page 92) in Pilkington's Dictionary of Painters, 

 published 1805.
