The Academy appointed Chambers to act as intermediary in the matter. Hone denied painting a likeness, but painted out the figure, as Kauffmann requests in this letter. The Academy Council voted to withdraw the painting and Hone exhibited it with other work in a room on St Martin's Lane. The fragment contains a valediction in French with 'Autograph of Angelica Kauffman[sic]' in another hand on the verso and in graphite on the support paper.
