Notes Painted about 1804 in London when the family was in exile from French invading forces in Amsterdam. Ann Goddard was the apple of Henry's eye until she started an affair with Baron van Dopff. This painting was partially to repair her marriage, and it didn't work. As soon as Henry died she moved in with Dopff. When John Williams died she married Dopff. Henry is pointing to the ashes of John Goddard, his brother-in-law and business associate, and above his head rests a model of Welgelegen.
