Image description

Prince Frederick took up the bass-viol and violoncello in 1733, playing to an "audience composed of all the underling servants and rabble of [Kensington] Palace" for hours on end. Here he is shown at Kew, where he had a house next to the Dutch House inhabited by his sisters, which is seen in the background. The one ostentatiously reading instead of playing is probably the eldest, Princess Caroline, who took opposite sides to him in the public dispute then raging over the merits of Handel.
