Moine's bust in marble (1750), was thought the best likeness by Dr.
King. This bust was openly sold in Red Lion Square, and, when
Charles visited Dr. King in September 1750, the Doctor's servant
observed the resemblance. I have never seen a copy of this bust, and
the medal struck in 1750, an intaglio of the same date, and a very
rare profile in the collection of the Duke of Atholl, give a similar
idea of the Prince as he was at thirty. A distinguished artist, who
outlined Charles's profile and applied it to another of Her present
Majesty in youth, tells me that they are almost exact counterparts.

Next we come to the angry eyes and swollen features of Ozias
Humphreys's miniature, in the Duke of Atholl's collection, and in his
sketch published in the 'Lockhart Papers' (1776), and, finally, to
the fallen weary old face designed by Gavin Hamilton. Charles's
younger brother, Henry, Duke of York, was a prettier boy, but it is
curious to mark the prematurely priestly and 'Italianate' expression
of the Duke in youth, while Charles still seems a merry lad. Of
Charles in boyhood many anecdotes are told. At the age of two or
three he is said to have been taken to see the Pope in his garden,
and to have refused the usual marks of reverence. Walton, the
English agent in Florence, reports an outbreak of ferocious temper in
1733. {17a} Though based on gossip, the story seems to forebode the
later excesses of anger. Earlier, in 1727, the Duc de Liria, a son
of Marshal Berwick, draws a pretty picture of the child when about
seven years old:-

'The King of England did not wish me to leave before May 4, and I was
only too happy to remain at his feet, not merely on account of the
love and respect I have borne him all my life, but also because I was
never weary of watching the Princes, his sons. The Prince of Wales
