Sr. John Percivale Bart. of Burton in the County of Cork in Ireland.
G. Kneller S.R.Imp. Et Angl. Eques Aur. Pinx. 1704. I. Smith Fec: et ex.
[n.d. c.1708.]
Mezzotint, plate 420 x 260mm (16½ x 10¼"). On 18th century watermarked paper. Small margins. Light cockling in top corners where previously laid down.
A full-length portrait of anglo-irish politician John Perceval, 1st Earl Egmont (1683-1748) dressed in rich robes, standing against ruins. In 1703 he was elected to the Irish House of Commons for County Cork and a year later he was admitted to the Irish Privy Council. He was raised to the Peerage of Ireland in 1715 as Baron Perceval and in 1722 he was created Viscount Perceval. In 1727 he was elected to the British House of Commons for Harwich, where he stayed until 1734. In 1733 he was further honoured when he was made Earl of Egmont in the Peerage of Ireland; he rejected British peerage three times. In 1728 he became a member of the committee of Parliament investigating prison conditions. He soon became a close associate of James Oglethorpe, who chaired the committee. In 1730, the two men were among those who formed an association that later became the Trustees for the Establishment of the Colony of Georgia in America. George II approved a charter for the colony in 1732, making Egmont president of the Georgia Trustees.

He became a favourite of Queen Anne, who gave his the title Duke of Buckingham and Normanby the year after her accession.

His wife separated from him on grounds of cruelty and Ferrers shot his steward, John Johnson, dead after becoming suspicious of him. On trial for murder, Ferrers tried to avoid the death sentence by claiming that he was insane at the time of the shooting. Dr. John Monro, who worked at Bethlem Hospital for mentally ill patients, gave evidence in his favour. However, Ferrers was found guilty of murder and hanged at Tyburn. His procession to Tyburn from the Tower of London in his own private carriage took nearly 3 hours, the route lined with large crowds of spectators. He was the last peer in England to be hanged for murder. After his execution his body was taken to Surgeon's Hall for public exhibition and dissection.
