Description: | Oil on canvas. This portrait is an autograph copy and is clearly marked as a 'REPLICA' (painted across the top right of the canvas in large capitals). It was commissioned in 1912 by the committee formed for the purpose of erecting a statue to Salisbury within the Foreign Office, using surplus funds. The work was commissioned directly from Hubert von Herkomer and is presumably a copy of the painting exhibited at the Royal Academy 1894 (223). It was originally intended for No. 10 Downing Street. The whereabouts of the original work is currently unknown. | Subjects: | university Marquess Robert Arthur Talbot Gascoyne-Cecil 19th century costume male portrait viscount chancellor's robe curtain 3rd Marquess of Salisbury ceremonial costume beard moustache man prime minister | Temporal: | 1911-1912; 1911/1912 | Source: | Government Art Collection | Creator: | Sir Hubert von Herkomer | Identifier: | http://www.gac.culture.gov.uk/work.aspx?... | Go to resource |
