The paintings were undertaken between 1765 and 1771 and Barret was paid 80 guineas for the largest paintings, 60 guineas for the middle sized and 40 guineas for the smaller paintings. Most of these paintings are now on display at the Portland Gallery at Welbeck. Sir Peter Byrne Leicester. The catalogue of paintings in the collection of Sir John Leicester of Tabley House near Knutsford that was published in 1821 includes a sketch of a painting by Barret. The painting has not been traced, but it shows a view of Beeston Castle from a distance. It could be that this painting was originally a pair with the painting by Barret of the gate towers at Beeston Castle in the Grosvenor Museum. Sir John Leicester, who was a great collector of paintings, may well have inherited this painting from his father Sir Peter Byrne Leicester. If this is the case it could provide an Irish connection between Leicester and Barrret. Sir Peter Byrne Leicester?ÇÖs mother Merial?ÇÖs second husband was Sir John Byrne, Bt., of Timogue, County Laois. Sir Peter Byrne Leicester inherited these estates which are close to the Powerscourt Estates, so providing a possible link for the commissioning of the Beeston Castle painting. The Duke of Buccleuch Barret was painting pictures for the Duke of Buccleuch from about 1768 to 1771. These were probably for Dalkeith Palace. Barret exhibited Part of Melrose Abbey by Moonlight at the Royal Academy in 1769, which is now at Drumlanrig Castle. Ellis Waterhouse notes seven views of Dalkeith Park by Barret in the Buccleuch collection at Bowhill, Selkirk. These, Waterhouse remarks, are his most memorable surviving works.They were a conscious attempt at providing a native British type of landscape composition in opposition to Richard Wilson's Italianising patterns. The Earl of Albemarle George Keppel, 3rd Earl of Albemarle, a noted military commander and another prominent member of the Rockingham Whigs was also a patron of Barret. Albemarle lived at Bagshot Park on the Crown Estate to the south of Windsor. Albermarle had Bagshot Park remodelled for him by James Paine between 1766 and 1772. One of the painting he commissioned was The Long Walk, Windsor , with Brood Mares and Foals, which included the famous racehorse Eclipse. This painting became part of the John Julius Angerstein collection and was purchased at auction for Queen Victoria in 1883. Lowthers of Lowther Castle Barrett appears to have been commissioned a number of paintings for the Lowther family, of scenes in the vicinity of Lowther Castle in Westmorland. These include A view looking east towards Knipe Scar from Lowther Park, where the sportsmen in the painting were the work of Philip Reinagle and the dogs are by George Stubbs. Sir George Colebrook Sir George Colebrooke of Gatton Park in Surrey commissioned at least two paintings from Barret. Colebrooke was a London banker and also became chairman of the East India Company. He became the member of Parliament for the rotten borough of Gatton
