Sir David Wilkie see McEwan's Dictionary of Scottish Art & Architecture pages 605-6 and ODNB died in 1841 however the dates on the card don't work if the Thursday was the 3rd then the Saturday should be the 19th not the 18th both 1844 and 1850 would work with the dates on the invitation and the dates of the Finlays being located at 49 Buchanan Street between 1832 and 1854 according the the National Portrait Gallery it is presumably more likely to have been held closer to the date of Wilkie's death.
