Farinelli in an advanced age - portrait by Corrado Giaquinto, Museo Diocesano, Molfetta (not sure about the date though) ‘Mister Farinelli still lives and is in good health and spirits. I found him much younger in appearance than I expected. He is extremely tall and thin and has a youthful air and he seems by no means infirm’ (Charels Burney, 1773) -- source link
