Reading edition
Of this gentleman there is a tolerably good mezzotinto print, engraved by Kirkall from a picture by Goupy, with the following curious inscription from the Italian:—
"Renown'd Sienna gave him birth and name, Kind Heaven his voice, and harmony his fame. While here the great and fair their tribute bring, The deaf may wonder whence his merits spring, But all think Fortune just that hear him sing."
There is a portrait of Carlo Broschi Detto Farinelli, Amiconi pinxit. C. Grignion sculp. small circle.
