Abstract (en)

Discusses the funerary iconography--carried through in the selection of Greek vases depicted in the background--of Buck's 1813 watercolor Portrait of a Family with the Bust of a Deceased Child which is now thought to be a self-portrait (New Haven, British Art Center). Reviews collectors of Greek vases in late-18th and early-19th c. England, and appends an annotated list of more than 20 of these.
