Benjamin Van der Gucht (d.1794) portrait of john moody (1727-1812), the actor half length, wearing Van Dyck dress bears signature/ signed l.l.:B Vandergucht/Px 1778 oil on canvas, oval 58 by 47 cm., 23 by 18 1/2 in. The sitter was born in Cork, although always insisted that he had been born in Stanhope Street, Clare Market, London. Moody went to Jamaica in 1745 and on his return to England in 1759 did the Norwich circuit where he took lead roles in tragedy and comedy. He was soon noticed by Garrick who signed him up as Locket in the 'Beggar's Opera'. Moody created his wonderful character of Sir Callaghan O'Brallaghan in Macklin's 'Love a la Mode' and the same season was the first clown in Garrick's pantomime 'Harlequin's Invasion'. Other important roles include Teague in The Committee by Sir Robert Howard, for which he was declared 'the best Teague that the stage had produced', and Captain O'Cutter in Colman's 'Jealous Wife', a role for which he was praised by Churchill. Vandergucht painted a portrait of Moody as Teague in 1775. Moody remained at Drury Lane until the end of his theatrical career.
