Nathaniel Hone I utøvde en betydelig innflytelse på påfølgende generasjoner av kunstnere, særlig de som utforsket Barbizon-stilens landskapsmaleri. Hans banebrytende tilnærming til tonal maling – preget av de gradvise overgangene mellom lys og mørke – ble en hjørnestein i Barbizon-bevegelsens estetiske forståelse. Videre utfordret Hones hengivenhet til psykologisk realisme, som er så tydelig i hans portretter, de rådende kunstneriske konvensjonene og banet vei for mer introspektive fremstillinger av menneskelige motiver. Til tross for en relativt kort karriere, etterlot Nathaniel Hone Den Eldre seg et uutslettelig spor i den britiske kunsthistorien.
Nathaniel Hone Den Eldre gikk bort i London i 1784, og etterlot seg en betydelig kunstnerisk arv som fortsatt høster stor beundring for sin kunstneriske verdi og tekniske virtuositet. Hans landskapsmalerier—og særlig verk som «The Honourable Mrs Curzon»—forblir dyrebare eksempler på det attende århundrets kunst, og de står som et levende vitnesbyrd om Hones varige bidrag til den stilistiske utviklingen i hans samtid.
