The gallery gets better each time I visit. I spent my time today on the top floor - Tudors & Stuarts and Georgians. Good clear labels although the Kitkat Club ones weren't all identified even though there was a special sheet all about them. However it was an attractive display. I love the painting of Charles II in which his expression is so familiar and modern, and the bust of Hogarth by Roubiliac is stunning. Just a pity that one or two visitors were doing that annoying thing of not looking at the exhibits, but just standing in front of the paintings to take selfies. I didn't remember the picture of John Donne as a young man, lurking in the shadows, but loved it, which is why I'm posting it
