Three-quarter length portrait of Lieutenant General George Wade (1673-1748). He stands with his right hand on a cannon, left hand propping baton on a rock beside his helmet, wearing armour and long white wig. In the background mounted troops and a stone bridge can be seen in the mountainous landscape. The original drawing by Alexander van Haecken is in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. Wade was a british army officer and commander-in-chief. Famous for building roads, the 'military ways' through Scotland. Commander-in-Chief of the troops sent into Scotland against the Jacobites in 1745, for a short time, until relieved by the more dynamic Cumberland, after which he retired. Marshal Wade's House, built for George Wade, in Bath is a fantastic example of 18th-century urban architecture in the Palladian style.
