Description: | Oil on canvas. Henry William Paget, 1st Marquess of Anglesey (1768-1854), who was in his 80s when this portrait was painted, was the uncle of the artist Henry Richard Graves. There are several portraits by Graves depicting the Marquess, all made in the early 1850s. They include a watercolour at Dunbrody Park; a watercolour and a pencil drawing at Plas Newydd (the country seat of the Marquess of Anglesey); an oil painting, painted for the Household Calvalry Regiment, with the Blues and Royals; and a further oil painting at Huntington Town Hall.
The National Portrait Gallery’s catalogue of 'Regency Portraits' (published 1985) describes this portrait as a copy of the oil painting ‘formerly at Hinchingbrooke [House, near Huntingdon, in Cambridgeshire,] and now in Huntingdon Town Hall’. | Subjects: | Order of the Garter feather (fashion accessory) sideburns Marquess military uniform riband 19th century costume Henry William Paget male portrait Order of the Bath Earl Lord Lieutenant of Ireland Royal Guelphic Order/Royal Hanoverian order field marshal man 1st Marquess of Anglesey sword | Temporal: | c.1853; 1851/1855 | Source: | Government Art Collection | Creator: | Henry Richard Graves | Identifier: | http://www.gac.culture.gov.uk/work.aspx?... | Go to resource |
