William Mineard Bennett
Bennett exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1812, 1813, 1815, 1816, and again in 1834 and 1835. In Paris he became a protégé of Louis-Phillipe and the Duc de Berri and was decorated by Louis XVIII. In his self-portrait he confidently wears a star-shaped medal which may well be that received from the French King.
