With his profile elegantly captured in chalk on paper, this portrait exudes an air of authority and wisdom. Pitt's notable political career is reflected in his confident gaze and composed posture as he sits for this sketch. Serving twice as virtual Prime Minister during crucial periods in British history (1756-61,1766-68), Pitt earned himself the moniker "the great commoner". His influence as a Whig politician cannot be understated.
