Talk:Robert Udny

Chinese whispers
The Victoria County History reference for the "Empress of Russia" buying Udny's pictures is East Barnet by Frederick Charles Cass; and Cass attributes the information to Lysons (, p. 133). I think it may just be gossip, given that nothing of the sort is said in the Getty Provenance page. Most of the purchases mentioned there were made by dealers, and it is quite possible that some works from the 1804 sale ended up in Russia. But I'm going to change the lead.
