EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable portrait of William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland, captured by the talented artist Joshua Reynolds in approximately 1758. The oil on canvas painting measures an impressive 165x152.4 cm and is currently held in a private collection. William Augustus, the youngest son of King George II, is depicted here as a Ranger of Windsor Great Park. In the background, one can admire the gothic tower commissioned by the Duke himself and built by Henry Flitcroft. This neo-gothic architectural gem adds an enchanting touch to the landscape. The Duke stands tall and proud in his vibrant red waistcoat, exuding an air of royalty and aristocracy. His three-quarter length pose allows us to appreciate his regal presence while also capturing some elements of his surroundings. This portrait beautifully captures not only William Augustus' physical appearance but also hints at his role within society as an aristocrat and member of the Order of the Garter. The English countryside setting further emphasizes his connection to nature and landownership. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this masterpiece from ePeter Nahum at The Leicester Galleries in London for our enjoyment today. It serves as a testament to both Reynolds' artistic prowess and William Augustus' significant place in history as a prominent figure during Georgian times.
