Excerpt from Diary and Correspondence of Samuel Pepys, Esq. F. R. S, Vol. 6: From His Ms. Cypher in the Pepsyian Library, With a Life and Notes by Richard Lord BraybrookeThis picture was bought by Mr. Peter Cunningham at the sale of the pepys-cockerell collection in 1848, and it was purchased by the trustees of the National Portrait Gallery in 1866. Pepys is represented in a gown which I hired to be drawn in, a morning gowne, and holding in his left hand a piece of music, his own composition, with the words, Beauty retire. The trustees of the Gallery have permitted me to have a photograph taken of it. There is a similar picture belonging to Mr. Hawes, of Kensington, which Mr. Scharf, the Keeper of the National Portrait Gallery, thinks is either a replica or a good old copy. (m.
