1795 (age 17)
Painted by Sir William Beechey
This portrait appears to be the only extant image of William Herbert, and was painted when he was a student at Eton. In one of the few biographical pieces on Herbert, Worsley writes that “no great man in modern times has left fewer personal records that can be easily traced than has William Herbert.” Despite the fact that before he died, he had risen to be Dean of Manchester, his burial site remains unknown.
