Thomas Lawranson (or Lawrenson) (fl. 1760–1777) was an Irish painter.[1]

Lawranson signed the roll of the Incorporated Society of Artists in 1766, and is first styled a fellow of the society in 1774. He lived in Great Russell Street, Bloomsbury, London. A portrait of Lawranson was painted and engraved in mezzotint by his son William Lawranson.[1]

He appears in 1760 as an exhibitor at the first exhibition of the Society of Artists, sending a portrait of himself; he was subsequently a regular exhibitor until 1777, sending portraits or miniatures. In 1774 he exhibited a portrait which he had executed in 1783. He drew and published a large engraving of Greenwich Hospital.[1]

gollark: I think most of the speedrun rules ignore the time-based or just really weird achievements though.
gollark: Emu Wares Wars is actually a spinoff thing where people try and get the best deals on Emu War merchandise.
gollark: Emu Wars Extended is particularly weird.
gollark: It's *basically* the same as the original EWO though, at least up to about halfway through arc 2.
gollark: Technically, not all of the Emu War foes are actually animals.
