Fine mezzotint, proof before letters. 580 x 390mm (22¾ x 15¼"), large margins.
A full length portrait of Arthur Wellesley, in his major-general's uniform, hand resting on the hilt of his sword, Indian soldiers and a camp behind. Robert Home (1752-1834) worked in India from 1790, painting Wellington fourteen times between 1804 and 1806. This mezzotint seems to be an embellished version of the half-length portrait he painted in 1804, before Wellesley received the sash and star of the Order of the Bath (National Portrait Gallery NPG 1471).
Whitman 602. Ex: collection of The Hon. Christopher Lennox-Boyd, has state i of iii. Morrison Collection.
