Description: | One of a set of six paintings done probably to the order of Lord George Henry Lennox, Colonel of the 25th Regiment of Foot. Lennox, the son of the 2nd Duke of Richmond, is the mounted officer pointing with his sword. In December 1762 he became colonel of the 25th Foot, a command he retained until his death. He and his wife joined the regiment in Minorca where he was stationed from June 1769 until 1775. The painting is unsigned and undated but is attributed to Giuseppe Ignacio Maria Chiesa (1720-89) although the set are believed to be by different artists and are of varying quality. | Subjects: | Lord George); figure; military and war; landscape; animal (horses) portrait (Lennox | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Chiesa, Giuseppe Ignacio Maria (Italian artist, 1720-89) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8594... | Go to resource |
