A painting of (apparently) the same individual, in very similar clothing, is to be found in an album in the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, Mass., which was acquired in 1747 by Philip Yorke, 2nd Earl of Hardwicke. In that album the subject is identified in a contemporary French hand as 'Siang, le Premier Ministre, en habit Tartare'.
