## Commentary

Sir Thomas Lawrence was a very successful portraitist both in Britain and mainland Europe. Considered a child prodigy, he painted portraits from a very young age and at the age of 22, following the death of Joshua Reynolds, was appointed painter to the King, further adding to his prestige. He was commissioned by George IV to paint numerous politicians and European statesmen, portraits which were highly prized by the English and European aristocracy.
