Description: | King George I (1660-1727), King of Great Britain and Ireland (1714-1727), is shown here seated full-length wearing the Garter robes and resting his right hand on an orb. His crown is place next to him on a red cloth-covered table. A window on the background reveals a view of Westminster Abbey. It seems to be a variation of the standard Kneller coronation portrait of 1714. This portrait was given to Dover Corporation by Alexander Wellard, Esq., Mayor, in 1758 and originally hung in the Court Hall. | Subjects: | portrait (King George I); interior | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Kneller, Godfrey (English painter, 1646-1723) and studio Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Dahl, Michael, I (Swedish painter, born 1656 or 1659, died 1743, active in England) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8746... | Go to resource |
