The Duke of Wellington by Sir Thomas Lawrence, 1820

[almaviva90]

Hurrah...I've finally found a good sized copy of this portrait in all its glory. Not as fantastic and richly coloured as the one I saw in the book, Thomas Lawrence: Regency Power and Brilliance but it will do for now. =) Next to the 1814 portrait which I bet almost everyone has seen, this one from 1820 is probably my favourite portrait of Wellington in his mid-forties, early fifties.
