Good old Lord Byron himself. Not a bad painting and one his most enduring portaits. It is strange to think that poets back then could be famous in the same way as rock 'n roll stars used to be in the recent past. Not sure what he current equivalent is. The winner of American Idol or Big Brother? (Scratches head..sighs..)
But in those days fans of the great man used to have a cut-out of a paper with his mug on it on their wall. Pin-up poets, no less. It's a funny old world.
