As a descendant of Thomas Brown I was excited about this. Thomas Brown was scalped and tortured in the American War of Independence and the painting (of the older man of two) has clear signs of scars on his forehead and scalp. A couple of weeks ago the painting, front and back, was photographed in Charleston by the art dealer who bought it in the Lambuth sale 2011. There's writing (looks too fresh to be 18th century) on the back claiming the portrait is of Thomas Broun of Braid 1776 by the artist Arch. McLachlan. Which is correct? Surely the auction catalogue couldn't have been so wrong? Can anyone help with this mystery? I'd be very grateful for any ideas. Thanks.
