No one has yet suggested Hoppner or Lawrence?
In Response To: Thomas Gainsborough ()

John Hoppner was a very well known portrait painter, and he's in about the right timeframe: 1758-1810. He was the official portrait painter to the Prince of Wales.

Sir Thomas Lawrence arrived on the fashionable portrait scene in 1787, and he became portrait painter to the King.

Either one of them is a possibility....
