[His Serene Highness William Charles Henry Friso Prince of Orange, and Nassau, Stadtholder, Admiral, & Captain General, of ye Seven Provinces, &c.&c.&c.]
[probably by John Smith]
[Printed for & Sold by M. Overton opposite Fetter Lane end in Fleetstreet.]
Scarce mezzotint. Sheet 315 x 250mm (12½ x 9¾"). Trimmed into image, losing inscription area, laid on album paper, ink collector's stamp lower right of image and on reverse.
An equestrian portrait of William IV of Orange (1711-51), before a battlefield. It is based on Godfrey Kneller's portrait of Frederick de Schomberg as engraved by John Smith, with the same horse and background, but without the black pageboy. Because of the similarity of the plates there was some confusion as to states, with Chaloner Smith listing an example as a possible first state of his Smith 227 as well as ENA 75. Russell writes that this plate was originally Schomberg but was changed to portray William III, the Duke of Marlborough, William IV and, finally Marshall Keith. CS ENA 75, i of ii (and see 227); Russell 227, second plate, state iv of v. Ex: collections of The Hon. Christopher Lennox-Boyd & the Marquess of Sligo (Lugt 2353a).
