Brother Henry Rouw

, the partner of James Watt. Rouw wrote as follows to M.R. Boulton, the subject's son: ''If any friend should wish to have a copy of your father's portrait the price will be fourteen guineas, as it has taken me more time than I expected it would when I gave you the amount.'' An enclosed invoice referred to "a portrait of the late M. Boulton 25 gns., a copy of the same 10 gns". Graham Pollard deduced: "As 10 guineas was Rouw's standard price, the sum of 25 guineas must refer to the large-scale wax. The example in the Victoria and Albert Museum is signed and dated 1814. It is therefore one of the copies mentioned by Rouw, priced at fourteen guineas".
