Francis Lindo (1714–67) was reportedly born in Isleworth, although recent art-historical research identifies him as Joseph Henri Beschey, an Antwerp-born artist who worked in Britain and Lowland Scotland under the name Francis Lindo. Between 1760 and 1762, he produced oil and crayon portraits in Lowland Scotland and Aberdeenshire, ranging from small busts to full-length works. His portraits often have considerable charm, and he may have studied under Francis Hayman (1708–1776).
