Portrait of Master Blacker - Blakey, Nicholas (Irish draftsman, active 1752-1758) (My University, 1995)
This portrait was formerly attributed to Philip Hussey. An inscription in the lower right corner of the painting, below the heraldic shield, reads: 'STEVARTUS BLACKER / AETATIS SVAE X'. The second line translates to indicate that Master Blacker was ten years old at the time of this portrait.
