Biography:
Francis Cotes began his career as a portraitist who worked in oils and pastels. His reputation in England as a talented pastel painter was established by the 1760’s. He co-founded to Society of Artists and was its director beginning in 1765. He also became a founding member of the Royal Academy three years later. In his late career, Cotes painted mostly in oils, which were less laborious and more lucrative. He died prematurely at the age of forty-four.
