At his heufe, in Duke-ftreet, St. James's,

were noticed by their late lamented prefi- 
dent, Sir J. Reynolds; who, on Mr. Head’s 
fetting out to ftudy his art on the continent, 
gave him letters to the houfe of Hope, at 
the Hague, &c. Fromthefe gentlemen Mr. 
Head received many civilities: they em- 
ployed him to paint portraits of fome of 
their families; to copy fome of their va- 
luable pictures, &c. and when he profe- 
cuted his journey into Italy, gave him let- 
ters to feveral of their connections, who 
proved very ferviceable tothe young artift, 
He refided many years in Rome; but on 
the breaking out of the troubles in that 
capital, he left it, and afterwards returned 
to his native country, with a large collec- 
tion of copies from the moft capital pic- 
tures in the Vatican, &c. with which he 
intended to have made an exhibition; and 
with that view purchafed a large houfe in 
Duke-ftreet, St. James’s, and was juit on 
the point of taking the houfe next door, to 
enlarge his room, &c. His death was at- 
tended with fome circumftances peculiarly 
diftreffing. Abcut three weeks fince, he 
oné morning went cut with the intention 
of calling upon Mr. J. Davenport,a gentle~ 
man (lately returned from making the 
grand tour), with whom he was particular- 
ly intimate. He found that Mr. Daven- 
port had died a few hours before he-called. 
He returned to his own houfe, much dif- 
treffed for the lofs of his friend; and on his 
coming home, found that one of his daugh- 
ters, a very accomplifhed girl, about 16 or 
17 years of age, whom he had left in ap-
