Zoffany, the artist, lived for some time in poverty in Drury Lane.

Zoffany was elected among the first members of the Royal Academy in 1768.

It had evidently held some sort of necklace and bore the mark of Zoffany's, the Capital's costliest jeweler.

He thought of giving Nina the receipt from Zoffany's in his pocket, decided not to take the chance.
