NOTE: George Place (c1760 - 1805) was born in Ireland and studied there under F.R. West. By 1791 he was living in London and exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1791 to 1797. In 1798 he moved to Lucknow, India, where he was well paid for many paintings for the Nawab. Place died in Lucknow in 1805. Most of Place's paintings were destroyed in the Indian Mutiny (also known as India's First War of Independence).
Paintings by Place are in the V & A and the British Museum.
