He stopped exhibiting at one venue after his painting of three princesses in "tender light" was hung "above the line." On a commission for Woburn Abbey, this artist made a pair of Wooded Landscapes depicting haymaking and woodcutting. A Pomeranian dog lies under the desk of a friend who rests a large viola de gamba on his thigh in his portrait of (*) Carl Friedrich Abel. Another canvas by this painter hints at the subject's use of a seed drill with the rows of stubble at bottom right, below Sudbury Hill. In that same dual-portrait by this artist, a brown and white dog turns up its nose at the rifle of a man whose wife's lap was never completely painted in. He depicted the Halletts taking a "morning walk".  For 10 points, name this artist of Mr. and Mrs. Andrews, the rival of Sir Joshua Reynolds.
