Porträt des Anthony Morris Storer (1746–1799), britischer Politiker

This 1770 portrait of Anthony Morris Storer depicts a British politician and collector who served as a Member of Parliament and accumulated a notable library and art collection. Storer, educated at Eton with Charles James Fox, moved in the circles of Whig political society and literary culture that overlapped extensively with Dance's portrait clientele. His collecting activities placed him within the Grand Tour culture of connoisseurship that Dance himself represented as a painter trained in Rome. The portrait documents Dance's service to the educated Whig gentry who formed his primary social network and commercial base after his return to London.

The portrait renders the politician-collector with the elegant ease appropriate to a man of culture and public standing, Dance's confident technique capturing both social polish and individual character.
