Image description

This portrait of George III shows him in full ceremonial robes, with a sceptre in his right hand. It’s pendant, of Queen Charlotte, is also at Attingham. Both pictures are later copies of the portraits painted in 1779 for the Royal Academy, now at Burlington House. Reynolds used these as models for the state portraits that he was obliged to supply when he was Painter in Ordinary to the King from 1784. They were produced by his studio until his death. A female figure, or statue, at the right, on a level with the King’s head now shows through. It is possible that Reynolds wanted to substitute a less specific setting than Westminster Abbey, which was shown in the original.
