Painter of portraits and conversation pieces. Baptised London 17 December 1691; last recorded there 1754. He had a good business in London and took over Kneller's old studio in 1731. He was a pioneer of the rococo conversation piece and Vertue considered him the ablest and most original exponent of such pictures of his time. 'The Price Family', c. 1728 (New York) is a good example.
