A portrait of the founder of Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew will return home after it was purchased from London dealer Derek Johns, writes Laura Chesters.
The painting depicts Princess Augusta (1719-72), the mother of George III, and was painted by George Knapton (1698- 1778) in the grounds of Kew Palace. It will now hang in Cambridge Cottage at Kew.
