Stanislaus' portrayal transports us to the late 18th century when Alfred Howard embodied elegance and refinement like no other. Sterne's portrait showcases an introspective side to him - perhaps reflecting on life's complexities or penning profound literature. In F.

Steevens presents him as a scholar engrossed in intellectual pursuits during the Enlightenment era. Stillingfleet captures Alfred Howard amidst scientific exploration during the Age of Reason – a true polymath seeking knowledge across various disciplines. Titian immortalizes him with vibrant colors and masterful strokes; one can almost feel his passion emanating from this artwork. Sir P.
