EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Thomas Lord Fairfax, a prominent figure in English history. Painted by John Riley in 1684, this oil on canvas print showcases the nobleman's commanding presence and distinguished demeanor. Thomas Fairfax, born in 1657 and passing away in 1710, was not only a member of parliament but also a brigadier general. His loyalty to William III during the Battle of Boyne is depicted through his confident gaze and regal attire.

This painting serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable historical artifact. As we admire this portrait today, we are reminded of Thomas Lord Fairfax's contributions to English society and his unwavering dedication to serving his country.
