The son of a Dublin-based Dutch merchant, Hone moved to England as a young man and, after marrying Molly Earle – daughter of the Duke of Argyll – in 1742, eventually settled in London, by which time he had acquired a reputation as a portrait painter. While his paintings were popular, his reputation was particularly enhanced by his skill at producing miniatures and enamels. He interrupted his time in London by spending two years (1750–1752) studying in Italy.
