William Armfield Hobday (1771-1831) exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1794-1831.  He worked in Bristol and Bath in addition to London, and in all three cities attracted a fashionable clientele.  When in Bristol, Hobday met George Chinnery. During that time, their work bears strong similarities. Hobday's self-portrait is in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum.
