Adrian Pett of Darnley Fine Art will stage an exhibition of recently discovered portraits at BADA 2018.
It includes more than 30 previously unknown portraits which Pett has hunted out. They span the 16th-20th centuries with sitters such as artists, members of the aristocracy, children and others.
One highlight is the earliest-known self-portrait of Francis Hayman (below), portraitist, illustrator and one of the founders of the Royal Academy. The oil on panel was not known to be in existence before, making the discovery of particular note.
