Description: | Oil on copper. Dressed in red, with a white neck tie and long powdered wig, the sitter of this portrait may be Charles Churchill (1656-1714), brother of John Churchill, first Duke of Marlborough (1650-1722). Although the pose of the sitter relates to a portrait of the first Duke by Dutch painter and draftsman Adriaen van der Werff (1659-1722) in the Uffizzi Gallery, Florence, the man depicted bears more of a resemblance to Charles, than his brother. This work was previously titled simply ‘A Duke of Marlborough’. | Subjects: | soldier wig 18th century costume male portrait cravat Charles Churchill general man | Temporal: | 1700-1710; 1700/1710 | Source: | Government Art Collection | Creator: | unknown, French 18th century | Identifier: | http://www.gac.culture.gov.uk/work.aspx?... | Go to resource |
