"most interested in the works of British Rococo and Romantic artist Thomas Gainsborough (1727-1788), the de Brécy Trust was established to take charge of his Old Master and Modern drawings, etchings, paintings and prints, making the benefactor's collection available for future generations to study. Vigorous research to authenticate the de Brécy Tondo as a work by Raphael continued for some 24 years."
