History of brogues with straps?

[OC Richard]

Richard. The the dating of the Mungo Murray portrait is wrong, it's c.1680 rather than 1660.

Yes, sorry, I was using the traditional date for that portrait.

For, what, a half-century the Scottish National Portrait Gallery had it listed as "Unknown Highland Chief c1660" then at some fairly recent point changed their designation to "Lord Mungo Murray c1683".

John Telfer Dunbar states that three versions are known. Are any of the three signed by Michael Wright?

What makes me ask is the fact that for ages the Scottish National Portrait Gallery had the painting of Hugh Montgomery listed as being by an unknown artist at an unknown date before recently claiming that it's an original John Singleton Copley.

Richard,

As far as I know, none of the three versions is signed by Wright, nor is the companion one of the Irish Chief O'Neill that is also attributed to the artist. However, by tradition Wright’s portrait of Lord Mungo Murray was painted during the artist's stay in Ireland in 1679-83, where he had travelled to escape the strong anti-Roman Catholic sentiment in London at the time.
