SIR THOMAS LAWRENCE (1769-1830)
Francis I, Emperor of Austria (1768-1835)

Francis I was a leading opponent of Napoleon and played a key role at the Congress of Vienna. His countenance is rather long and thin, and when grave, is grave to melancholy; but when he speaks, benevolence itself lights it up with the most agreeable expressions, and making it the perfect image of a good mind.’
