In 1727 the sitter's brother's election to Montgomery Borough was petitioned against on the ground that the right of election lay in the freemen of the county town only. In the ensuing debate, Wynn supported the right of Parliament in disputed elections. In 1729 he introduced the bill to prevent bribery at elections, which passed into law. A further, smaller study of the same sitter, perhaps taken as a preparatory study, can be found in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery (NPG 2614). NPG refers to this very portrait and states 'A whole length version, presumably the prototype, belongs to Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, the present baronet'. A number of portraits executed by Dahl can be located in country houses in Wales and surrounding counties, including Chirk Castle, Powis Castle and Tatton Park.
