Irwin:

"Roman, as well as Greek history, supplied British painter Gavino Hamilton with subject matter, such as "Agrippina with the Ashes of Germanicus", painted for Lord Spencer in 1771 (Althorp; Fig. 12), and the three versions of "Bruto Promising to Avenge Lucrezia's Death (1763-1764 for Earl of Hopetoun, engraved Cunego 1768, lost; 1779 for Lord Shelburne, lost; undated, now in Theater Royal, Drury Lane)."
