Nathaniel Hone I gik bort i London i 1784 og efterlod sig en betydelig samling værker, som fortsat beundres for deres kunstneriske værdi og tekniske virtuositet. Hans landskaber—og herunder især det bemærkelsesværdige værk ‘The Honourable Mrs Curzon’—forbliver dyrebare eksempler på det attende århundredes kunst og vidner om Hones vedvarende bidrag til den stilistiske udvikling i hans samtid.
