The Unknown Sitter and Charles Jenkinson, 1st Earl of Liverpool, are on show in the museum's new art gallery which features artists with local links including James Cranke, William McDowell, John Duffin, and now Romney - one of the region's most famous artistic sons, who was born in Dalton-in-Furness in 1734, moved to Kendal and then to London.
