Bronze Age Gold from Wales

Lewis Weston Dillwyn (1778-1855)

Lewis Weston Dillwyn owned the Cambrian Pottery in Swansea between 1802 and 1836. He was a noted naturalist and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1804. From 1832 to 1841 he was MP for Glamorgan, and this portrait is one of the many studies made by Hayter for his great painting of the House of Commons in 1832 (National Portrait Gallery, London).
